Is there a way to get this stain out??? please, help, I can't afford another lab coat for school!!!?
What happened, is l washed my white clothes together, and l did not realize
there was a tootsie roll in the pocket of a white hoodie, so, needless to
say the hoodie is ruined, but the white lab coat only got away with a
brown stain on the collar, cuff, and a spot in the back---and yes l ran it
through the dryer--it was the culprit for the tootsie roll melting and
getting on everything (and l usually always hang my lab coat, but this
time l was like, eh it wo not hurt it to dry it, lol). So l consulted the manufacturer is website, and these are the care directions it gave me (included below). While I am aware it says once it is gone through the dryer there is no way to get the stain out, l still am hoping there is someone out there who can offer me a solution. Like l said, l can not really afford to spend $50 on a new lab coat because I am in school full time--- and l need to wear it for clinical this Friday anyway. Thank you in advance! --angela “Zout” is an excellent stain remover, as is Oxyclean (for whites only). Hydrogen peroxide is good for removing blood stains. Often, rubbing the stain with a regular bar of white soap and hot water will remove a stubborn stain (you have to rub for awhile). Also, you can try the boiling water method: pour boiling water directly onto the stain. Pour for at least a minute. Note that stains that have gone through the dryer are now baked in and permanent – so check before drying that your garment is stain-free!
add a couple of cap fulls of bleach to kitchen sink, add hot
water and soak until stain gone.
I have 3 boys and they can create some awful stains and I've
had excellent results with Zout. Even dried in stains have come out after
treating over night. I usually soak the stain for a few hours then pour
laundry detergent directly on the stain and scub just before putting in
the washer. Last resort - try Clorox Bleach pen.
You could try scrubbing the stain out with a toothbrush and
some baking soda. After that is done wash your white coat alone with about
a cup and a half of white vinegar. I've had to do this A LOT with my white
clothes. (I have a lot of them trust me.)
If it can get red wine and cigarette ashes out of my white carpet it
should get chocolate out of your coat..
Its a protein stain. I would buy Era laundry soap and squirt
some on the spots. Let set as long as possible. Overnight if you can. It
may take a couple tries but should work.
Spray common household bleach directly onto the stain . . . see
if it helps . . .
As the mother of two small children . . . and this takes a lot of time for
dodgy results . . . but once a stain is set in I take shout and douse the
spot and wash it again, and again, and again, and it will usually fade if
not completely come out . . . my oldest had a set in stain of chocolate ice cream in his school uniform and it took about seven loads but it did eventually come out . . .
Since you've already dried it, that probably set in the stain
somewhat, sorry to say. If I were you, I'd buy a bottle of Clorox 2 which
is safe for ur colors & ur whites & pretreat with it. Just rub it into the
stain, let it set for a few minutes, then wash as normal. If the coat is
totally white, you could also run a load with Clorox regular bleach, but
you won't be able to pretreat. I guess you could also try the Clorox
Bleach Pen, which you can use to pretreat whites with. I sound like I work for Clorox, don't I?! Anyways, those are my suggestions, if you want another opinion, try emailing dr.laundryclorox.com - he will actually answer ur question! PS- don't mix Clorox 2 with regular Clorox-- it doesn't work, trust me! Staples Coupon Codes Home Depot Coupon Codes
