I love pinning, and Pinterest rocks my world, but before I ever post about anything that I pin, I vowed {to myself} to MAKE the recipe first, TRY the sewing technique, and TEST the technique before I share it with me readers. I don’t want you to ever try something and think, MAN THAT cookie is DIS-GUSTING and BROOKE TOLD ME TO MAKE IT!! Ha ha. So, just know that I will never do that to you, kapeesh!?!?
With that said, do you want to know what has CHANGED my life from PINTEREST lately!?!? 
Well one day I was venting to my sister Adrian about how LAME I am at doing laundry and how I CAN NEVER get stains out. We were chatting about fels naptha, zout, and thoro. Well, all of the sudden she stops me and says, “I have the PERFECT solution that I promise will work.” I bow to her now. I’m pretty stubborn and don’t normally stop talking, but I knew I could trust her on this. She’s super duper awesome.
She explained the solution and I found it on Pinterest. The original source comes from Modern Day Moms, and I will forever be grateful. I was warned by the sis to ONLY use original blue dawn, and I have never used otherwise, so just know that if you stray from the recipe, I cannot guarantee the results. BUT, if you TRUST me…make it perfectly, and I promise you won’t be sorry.
Head over to Modern Day Moms for the stain removal recipe, believe me it is super duper simple and you won’t regret it.
You can use it on all colors too {not just white}. I have refilled my spray bottle three times since this amazing homemade stain removal solution came into my life.
It truly has made my life easier, and when I find something life changing, I cannot help but share it with YOU!!
Equal parts Dawn dish soap, vinegar, and water also works well for grass stains. Better than any other stain remover I've ever bought.
Original Dawn rocks! I always have a bottle around for my itty bitty bottle fed foster puppies because it's safe to use to kill fleas.
Also, if you have grease stains on your clothing (chapstick or food grease/oil), rub original Dawn into the stain then rinse and wash as usual. No more grease stain! One of my husband's work projects involves a solution of vegetable oil and it's messy. Some of his field shirts look so clean now!
Thanks for sharing your good find… so excited to try this!
I saw this on pinterest also, except it said to add baking soda, which I did. The results were disastrously funny. I put it in a sealed container and when I went to switch my loads of laundry there was water all over my washer. Took me a while to realize the pressure in the container had made the top explode and go everywhere. I will definitely leave out the baking soda this time!
Thank you! So trying this!!
I've seen it, but overlooked it quite a few times. But you have inspired me to just do it! Thanks!
Love me some Original Blue Dawn
Try the dawn and hot vinegar solution from pinterest in your shower. I left it for several hours and it was amazing, my shower sparkled like new.
I need to try this solution on some of my kids clothes! Thanks for the heads up!
I will have to try this. My boys play baseball also and I have been using Murphy's oil ( YES) on their pants. Just spray on and wash and it works great but this will definitely be cheaper.
Thank you again!!!
I recently heard of this stain remover too…the one I hear also has white vinegar.
OH.SO.EXCITING.
As a Mom of three boys? Love this! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you SO MUCH for posting this. I had pinned this forever ago, but hadn't done much about it. Your story about the baseball pants SOLD me and I whipped this up last night. I've already successfully tackled red wine, spaghetti sauce (that when sprayed and washed the same night didn't come out!), strawberries (a stain I let sit for 3 days out of laziness) and some "unknown, been there forever" carpet stains. Wow, I'm soooo excited! Thanks for nudging me in the right direction. <3
I think what works is mostly the peroxide, not the dawn liquid. I've tried a paste of peroxide + baking soda and it also gets tough stains out, but you have to be careful with this things because peroxide is tough on most fabrics.
The “peroxide” is exactly the thing that is also marketed as “Non-Chlorine” bleach!

I'm so excited to try this out! Thanks for pointing me towards the recipe.
I just found a video of a youtuber doing this treatment… It actually works! Here’s the link in case anyone doesn’t believe that THIS FORMULA WORKS!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUwdv4QEhTY
Would this maybe be good for carpet stains? Or is the hydrogen too harsh? Also, I’m afraid of the potential bleaching effect. Anyone tried it on carpet? Or have a better homemade solution for carpet stains? (Not pet … so just focused on stain and not odor)
