Soak for half an hour before washing as usual. It also seems to work on discoloration. I also second the advice to soak in OxyClean.</p> <p>Does Tilex really work on white?

Somehow, this works on certain fabrics. Don't ask me how or why. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-pit-stains#post-147846 Sun, 25 Apr 2010 20:07:12 +0000 Queen Mum 147846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oxy clean is my stain remover of choice. soak overnight and see if it makes a difference. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-pit-stains#post-147815 Sun, 25 Apr 2010 18:44:18 +0000 elpgal 147815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not familiar with Laundress, but have you tried an enzyme wash like Spray &amp; Wash? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-pit-stains#post-147810 Sun, 25 Apr 2010 18:26:08 +0000 cciele 147810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No, unfortunately not white Also, some items are 100% cotton, others are poly blends. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-pit-stains#post-147807 Sun, 25 Apr 2010 18:24:21 +0000 Angie 147807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are the items white?
