arghh for stains

This idea also came from the women's circle at the reunion! from our very own Ms Blair Woodruff

Have stains on yours, the captains, or the little matey's shirts and can't get it out no matter what you do?

NO FEAR! RIT Dye Tinte here!

that's right, DYE those clothes a whole new color! the whole shirt dyes beautifully along with the stain. now you have what seems like a new (new color= new options) shirt with no stain! Also- have faded black clothes? Dye them black to make them beautiful again!

• wear apron and gloves
• make sure ally dye is dissolved before adding your clothes
• make sure the material/laundry is clean before dying

this can be found at Wal*Mart in the luandry detergent section for $1.50

***testimonial- Blair did it to 2 shirts that I saw and they seriously look NEW because the color is so bright!***

what's on a pirate's booty

At the women's circle this year for my dad's family reunion, instead of having a recipie exchange (what we usually do) we had a helpful hint exchange- so I think I'll share some of them with my fellow pirates every so often when I feel like it :)

Did you know your G's a bleached white!? Yessiree they are! That's why if you use bleach, your garmies may be turning yellowish! But Shiver me Kimber- how do I get the yucky pit stains out of my my  husband's garmies and other stains?" Use Hydrogen Peroxide! (like a quarter cup or so? I haven't gotten a chance to try it out yet) Yes who knew? That'll get the stains out keeping your garmies a bright white!

Another tip- don't wash white socks with that load- they're dirty and yucky so just wash them with your colored load or something- let's be honest, it doesn't really matter if they're super duper bright white- they're on your feet! Or bleach them with a load of pure/real whites! (i.e.- towels, shirts, pants etc)

Yay for domestified PIRATES!!!

what are some of your laundry tips?
