Getting White Pants Clean

bar of ivory soap' rub it in directly and soak in sink. works wonders and cheap

My wife tried every remedy suggested for getting stains out of white pants, and then some, but found this stuff to work the best:

It's called Slideout, it definitely isn't cheap, but it works 100% of the time.

Iron Out - let it soak for awhile in it, then wash in washing machine.

You might feel a little silly doing it, but nothing, I mean nothing, works as well as hanging the pants on a car wash mat holder and spraying them with high pressure soap and water. It takes me less than a minute to do and I never have to pre-treat, scrub or soak. I have people ask me all the time how I keep the white baseball pants clean. I was spending $20 a month in products before someone taught me this quick trick at a tournament. 

Before this thread even started, I went out and bought some Iron Out, was told it will take the yellow tint out off white pants. Going to give it a try.

I am amazed!!! I just used Whink's Rust & Iron Stain Remover (Ace Hardware) and my son's pants are white again.  I was afraid to use it because his pants have a red pinstripe but it didn't affect it at all.  His pants were at a point where we were just going to have to trash them since we couldn't get the stains out. Until now...  First I sprayed them with Oxy Clean and let them sit over night.  Then let them soak in Whink's for 3 hours and then I washed them through a normal wash cycle with detergent.  The pants look brand new again!!

I just picked up some Iron Out.  Gonna try it, then gonna spray on some Scoch-Gard Fabric.  Thanks.

my wife hand washes (presoak and hand scrub) my son's jersey's and pants/shorts for all of his sports - no machine wash and dry.  No stain problems, great colors, and no numbers wearing off.  Son is now learning how to do this.

Two words "Fels Naptha."

As stated previously, the car wash is the easiest and best!  Most pants are polyester so the dirt is just attached to the material, not actually staining it.  Of course, cotton pants would be different.  Happy cleaning to all.

Ok...Iron Out is NO JOKE!  I still have some stains from two weeks ago, but barely.  Anything new is GONE.  I'll scotch gard any new pants and use Iron Out for any new stains going forward.  Thanks.

I just throw them in the wash. From game one on . If it's stained it's stained . My silent protest against white pants. I refuse to spend extra time on them . Here's a question do you own a pair of white pants yourself? I didn't think so.

Good point.  I just think white uniforms look good, and look better when they are clean.  At least at the start of the game and season.  A little dirt means the kid is working...or just playing in the dirt.  We wear gray for our games, but my son has some white for practices.  No extra work really needed, just add the Iron Out to your wash.  It will do the rest.  It will get the rest of your whites nice and clean too.

I will second that....it's tough to find sometimes....so when you find it....buy 2 or 3 bars at a time.

My wife... and kids, for that matter... like to give me a hard time about my activity on this site. When they call me "Soylent Green" for being a few minutes late to the dinner table for instance, you know they're laying it on thick. I gently remind them that hey, "Soylent green is people"!

Anyway... I'm getting revenge this morning... Sending a link to this thread to my wife under the email heading "This made me think of you, love".

I may have more time to peruse the site starting tonight... from the couch ;-)

....and you think that's going to make her want you to spend more time here???? 

Me thinks you in big trouble.  

Ok.  Iron Out is THE TRUTH!  One more soak and wash and ALL stains are GONE.  If you aren't using this stuff, get some NOW.  I will now scotchgard fabric and add Iron Out to the wash.

I was trying to give my wife a hard time by sending her his thread on the snide, but as usual with such efforts it backfired on me. She enjoyed reading it and asked me to share the following, FWIW:

1. She recently ordered this product, but hasn't used it yet -http://m.clubhouseucs.com/#!Clubhouse%20Kit|page_1
2. She finds that she worries less about absolute whiteness with each passing season.
