Oma's Laundry Stain Remover

"This is straight out of the laundry room of my ex's late grandmother; it works too! I've also entered this under the "kid friendly" category because there was no "parent friendly" category to choose from! This spray concoction has been a godsend when getting stains out of my toddlers clothes. Note I changed the Wisk detergent ingredient to Persil, as Wisk is no longer in the stores but Persil is the same makers as Wisk. I recently had to spot clean some marks on a shirt and picked up Persil when I found out about the Wisk/Persil switch and yes, it worked the same."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Welcome! I joined this website in 2001, as a new wife and Mom of a 1 y/o and I was 28 yrs old and did not know about cooking. I found this website cause I searched the web and wanted to find a good recipe for carrots! I found that recipe and so much more here over the years. I learned so much from this website and opened up my eyes to other recipes. I now am 46 y/o. I am now divorced and my then 1 y/o son is now a Marine. I have a wonderful man in my life that loves and appreciates my cooking and I thank this site for all of its help. I still come here for recipes. I hope you like my recipes and your family enjoys them also....there is many here and I love to pass them on.
