Sweat, dirt and sunscreen stains on shirts.
 
Hey, I have always used OxiClean or Spray and wash and washed and then hung dry my shirts and have never had much of a problem with stains.

I worked the USFA World Series this past week and have terrible stains on all of my shirts. I was staying at mom's house and maybe she has weird water? I dunno.

Does anyone have any ideas or are they all lost?

Thanks,

Joe

Sure, Blame your mother, that explains it for sure, just say'n?

That for the insightful comment.

If she has very hard water at her house, yes, it could have caused the problem with your uniform shirts. If you can find a laundromat or someone that has soft water, wash the shirts a couple of times in the soft water, and the stains should come out.

I agree. Shout's 'Laundry Stain Remover seems to work for me (well, my wife,:rolleyes: ), for tough stains. She also uses Tide's Boost which supposedly "loosens" stains.

My shirts seem to come out fine.

Never mind. If I knew you were going to Walmart, I never would have responded :D

1) I am confident that WalMart will have the product
2) I am confident it will be cheaper or the same price as other stores
3) It is very close to my house
4) I can get grapes, motor oil, underwear and sunscreen at the same time and get a good price on those items, also.

I cannot think of one reason to not go there and I have all of these reasons to go. Why would I not go?

DaveASA/FED Sat Jul 28, 2012 10:46am

Cause it's always a mad house in there?? :)

Didn't say you couldn't, just noted that I'm not a fan. I have dealt with Bentonville folks for over 20 years on a daily basis. They have a very high opinion of themselves and expect the rest of the world to worship at their feet. They remind me of The Mouse of retail. Strictly personal opinion, but I just don't care for the way they do business.

And I've never noticed you being shy about voicing your opinion.
:D

PS I shop at Wal-Mart occasionally but never enjoy the experience...
I think the biggest problems are parking and long slow check-out lines -

Oh but wait, I can't think of any shopping experience I enjoy....

BTW, sounds a lot like a store I frequented in P'cola on 9th Ave where you could also get a hair cut, have your shoes resoled, get a set of tires. It was an Albertson's and 1976.

You are probably like me. I don't shop, I buy. I know what I want, go get it, pay and leave.

I might have a similar opinion if I were in your shoes. However, as a consumer, I like how they do business.

:D

I have no knowledge of a GAP in my area though.

Sorry.....rewatching "The Wire"
