I use Oxy with very hot water, nobody believes that I still use the same aprons I wear to go to school in 1996, as good as new. It is not cheap but well worth it.
I have have 10 chefs coats ( not including the seven that were way beyond dead that I gave to my mother, who is a school teacher, for her students to wear as art smocks) 5 pairs of checked pants ( 3 that are too small) and 4 pairs of black pants.
I just got a new job though that now provides and launders my uniforms for me. good thing because I am a messy marvin when it comes to my uniforms. It was costing alot to replace the ones that I ruined. Oxyclean worked the best but there are some things that are just beyond help.
do any of you Oxyclean fans have front loading washers? I love Oxyclean for my white carpets...but haven't been happy with results on my white laundry...I think it's because I have a front loader and I haven't found the ideal way to use this stuff in it...I've tried diluting some and putting in with the liquid soap in that compartment but it didn't work too well...just pouring the crystals into the liquid bleach compartment definitely didn't work...
anybody found the magic way? So far having good luck with Spray n Wash sprays for my school uniforms, aprons, etc but I'd like to see if I can get the Oxyclean to work....
