Homemade Pre-Wash Stain Remover

The stain remover sprays you buy in the supermarket are expensive – here is a homemade version that won’t cost the earth – and will work just as well (if not BETTER!!!!).

• 1 cup cloudy ammonia
• 2 teaspoons eucalyptus oil
• 1 cup shampoo
• 1 cup water

Combine all the ingredients and place in a labelled spray bottle. �Spray stains, collars and marks just before placing in the washing machine.

This works better than the shop bought stain removers!!!!

Another terrific pre-wash stain remover is Sunlight soap. �Keep a bar or two in your laundry. �When you see a stain, gently wet the soap and rub it directly onto the stain and wash.
