I keep a spray bottle with a solution of 1/4 c Tide with bleach Alternative to 16 oz water at my side when I load laundry. I examine each article and spot spray where grease and pooled greasy spots are evident. I then wash my load of laundry as I would normally, depending on fabric and colors, and have great results often with blouses and tops I never thought I'd be able to wear again. This is also very effective with baby clothes where spit up has left a stain. I would add this can be used effectively with "hand me down" baby clothes. You may find that you have to pre treat over a few washings to completely eliminate stains on clothing and bibs that have been washed and dryer dried over a period of time where the stain is "set".
