This is a staple in my household. It has worked for me so many times. It works really well on grease stains, let us know how it does on the soot!

Thanks, Stella! That is a great tip.

Glad it can be of use to you all these months later. I don’t think it should make a difference. You may want to make sure it has no bleach, and test a small area that doesn’t show, just to be sure. I did before I used it on that dress. Which, by the way was mine before my daughter borrowed it and got those stains all over it. I hope it works on your stain as well as it has worked on all of mine!

I found mine at the local grocery store. Any dark spray bottle will do. In fact, a clear one is fine if you are mixing small batches and using quickly. Also, if you are storing it in a cupboard where it is not exposed to light, you will be just fine with a clear spray bottle from any store. Good luck with your laundry, Kate!

what store do you buy spray hydrogen peroxide?

Glad you have had the same success as I have. Thanks for sharing!

I found the same thing. It helps for me to let the stain sit with the Dawn and peroxide on it. I have trouble because we have a cold water wash machine. Grease will not come out when I use the cold setting. I always use the warm when I am trying to get grease out. First I put the Dawn on the stain and rub it ion. Then I put the peroxide on the stain and rub it in more. If it is a dark grease stain, sometimes you have to use bleach after because the Dawn+peroxide will not always take out the dark color. I also have a polyester table clothe that I have tried everything to get grease stains out and nothing works!

Thanks for sharing Sandi!

These are grease stains from cooking. I have been able to get several different stains out with this. Give it a try and let me know!

I have had my best success with grease stains, Michelle. Miracle worker for that. So glad you found us and I hope you will be back!

I have save so much money with this stuff! Hope it works as well for you as it does me. So easy!

Sounds easy. I find stubborn stains do better with the hydrogen peroxide. Sometimes straight dish detergent is hard to get out and becomes the problem, so I would suggest using it lightly and diluted.

Love all the great tips we are getting, thanks SuzanneB! This mix is a staple in my laundry room and has taken out a variety of stains.

You can try putting baby powder or cornstarch on the grease stains first. Shake off the excess powder, then do either straight Dawn or the Dawn peroxide mixture. The powder seems to help absorb some of the grease. I have even had it work on shirts that I have dried.

Never heard that one. I love great stain removal tips. Thanks, Ruth!

This has saved me so much money in stain removers and having to buy new clothes. My kids think their clothes are napkins! Hope it works as well for you as it has for me!

I found mine at the local grocery store, Donnalee. If they don’t sell it in your area just buy your own spray bottle. I go through it pretty fast!

Thanks for sharing, Kellie.

Hydrogen peroxide cannot be beat for bloodstains, though!
