Longgrain's going to air out his dirty laundry--give him some advise.

[Longgrain]

Longgrain has a favorite shirt.

It used to be white.

But it seems I've gotten some mud on it.

Some place overnight.

I don't know how to clean it, so I'm asking for advise.

I'm a single man, so a lady's touch would be nice.

1. Have you been caving?

My clothes usually look like that after a good trip.

[Longgrain]

7. Woodstock 94

It was a bad trip baby.

[RagingInMiami]

2. I'm not a lady

which is why i will probably use bleach

[Longgrain]

9. On your hair or on your clothes...

Just wondering?

[GOPisEvil]

3. Well, I'm a man, but I'd say try bleaching it.

But, I doubt it will ever be white again.

[Longgrain]

19. Some one else suggested bleaching as well

but there's a printed image under that mud and I'm afraid I'll loose it!

4. Is that the shirt in question?

Um....can you get a new favorite white shirt? ;)

How old is the mud? If it's fresh, rinse as much of it off in COLD water as possible (use cold, because hot water can set the stain). After that, you might try soaking in Oxyclean or treating with a paste of Oxyclean and water or detergent and water.

When you've gotten as much rinse/soaked off as possible, wash the shirt with a bleach safe for the fabric (use regular chlorine bleach if possible, because that has the greatest chance of restoring whiteness).

11. It was my Debbie Gibson concert tee-shirt

It was my first concert -sniff- and I ruined the shirt forever :cry:

[LisaM]

5. Soak it in a mix of Clorox 2 and Cheer powder, then wash

and then spell "advise" ADVICE!!!! LOL.

[Longgrain]

15. The grocery store i shop at doesn't carry cheer powder

Only Tide and Arm and Hammer so I guess I'm out of luck :shrug:

[hippiechick]

6. buy a new one.

:evilgrin:


:hippie:

[Longgrain]

12. They don't make them like those any more...

It was a one of the kind original...

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

8. Throw the fucking thing in the trash and buy a new one

Nobody would ever accuse me of being a lady:D

[Longgrain]

16. But my dear sweet lady...

Of wait! I just accused you of something. How long before the mods delete this message?

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

20. OK..the serious answer in buy some Oxi-Clean and use that

it will be clean and white again without deteriorating the fabric like bleach does :D

[Longgrain]

21. Thanks

I'll try it.

[SmokingJacket]

10. It is now your "earth-toned" shirt.

Adapt, dude.

[Longgrain]

True I like the lovely shade of dried mud

only it's lost some of it's flexiblity...

[demgrrrll]

13. Damn. I can tell you how I get antique linens snowy white.

After you get the majority of the mud off in some conventional way you can soak the shirt in Biz and water in a bucket for awhile. If it is summer and warm enough I dip the clean linens in lemon water and lay them on the grass. The chlorophyll in the grass reacts and makes the linens snowy white. People used to send their linens to Brussels for this process many many years ago. I have been able to release some of the most despicable stains in the world in this manner. Or just do the biz biz and let it go at that!

[Longgrain]

17. I'll try it

got to keep it clean you know...

[trof]

14. I'd advise you to take some advice.

Sorry.
Couldn't resist.

[Longgrain]

18. I'll be sure to bookmark this thread...

[Longgrain]

[Longgrain]
