I have 1/2 my jackets with orange logos cos i thought putting bleach in the wash would solve the stain problem. IT DOESNT WORK I'll be trying all the above till i find a solution

I tried the oxy clean soak and it does help. It doesn't quite fix the grease based stuff, but the blood, tomato product and general schmutz comes out pretty well.

time is a big factor with stains. . . . try to get your whites into soak as soon as possible.

My system is : cold water, tide for cold water, biz

works for almost everything

If if doesn't I go to step two hot water and oxyclean

I use a combo of bleach, tide and oxyclean, it's been working well for me so far

If you ever get carbon stains from dropping stock, NEVER put it in the dryer. It'll just bake the carbon stains on. Good luck on getting them out. I usually soak my coats in oxyclean overnight, then wash. That usually does it for me.

borax, tide, blueing and bleach.

I send mine with the linen company. They've never lost one.

Although I wouldn't recommend this with every linen company.

when chef jacket is new, start with a liquid starch for pressing. the liquid starch will act like scotch gaurd. before laundry day spray with any stain remover, wash as normal. but always with the liquid starch and iron after.
p.s. tilex is always good in a pinch.

hello everyone

i have the worst stain EVER! on my jacket carbon. pitch black, super fine carbon. you know the stuff you find on the side of the pot when your flames are burning yellow. anyway, this is one's persistant. it wont budge. i've bleached, washed & soaked, you name it... it's still there. if there is anyone here who knows how to remove it successfully, please share the love. if it works, i will personally bake you the MEANEST chocolate sponge cake ever, fill it with any filling of your choice, cover it in chocolate and fedex it to your door step.

It takes PROTEIN to get a PROTEIN stain out... so if you get blood on an ivory coat, soak it in cold milk a few minutes and then scrub it with a toothbrush dipped in milk. You'll be amazed- it takes some scrubbing but the entire stain lifts right out.

I just tried filling my washing machine with 2 Sunlight dishwasher pouches that contain Oxy clean, let them disolve, threw my whites in, let stand for 10 minutes then started a 30 minute cycle. Worked great.
