I have the worst luck with new clothes getting dark spots on the front. I think they're grease, because I have never been able to get them out. I guess they come from the baby's hands or the dryer or maybe the kitchen (I have a very bad habit of never putting my apron on ).

Has anyone ever found a way to get these out? Commercial or homemade, I don't care.....what are your best spot removal treatments?

Dear Gwen,

Our sons cannot seem to remember to place a napkin on their laps during mealtime and their hands go straight for their shirts. Occasionally, their dark clothing comes out of the dryer with greasy spots. I treat them with the regular blue "Dawn" dishwashing liquid and they seem to come out in the next wash.

Blessings,

Dawn liquid! What a great idea! I have the same problem on dh and my clothes. I'm not sure where the grease spots come from. They tend to show up on the newer "no-wrinkle" clothing like shirts and pants. Even not putting them in the dryer they show up. They are my mystery spots, causing a lot of angst around here! I've tried soaking, Oxy-clean, Shout, Tide...to no avail!

I'll try that remedy. Dh would be so pleased!

I just discovered a cleaner called Folex and it's gotten several stains out....including dry erase marker! My husband picked some up for me at either Home Depot or Lowe's and it was about $5. It doesn't have an icky smell.

Good Luck!
