I had purchased a bottle of Grandma’s Secret Spot Remover from my local fabric store a few weeks before, but had yet to take it for a “test drive.” I figured I had nothing to lose, so I lightly applied it to the ravioli stain (it comes out one drop at a time, so I was kind of sketchy with it) and threw it in my front loader on extra gentle cycle. The first wash got out one of the lighter stains — not pictured — but still left much of the BIG gross stain I showcased yesterday. I re-read the directions and found that you were supposed to really rub the spot remover into the fibers and let it sit for 5 or 10 minutes. I hadn’t done that at first because I was afraid I’d just set the stain deeper. But for the second go round, I massaged the affected area thoroughly and threw it in for another run on gentle cycle…this time adding Clorox 2 for colors. Again I figured I really had nothing to lose at this point. A mere 35 minutes later, the hat was as good as new and I was doing a happy jig around the laundry room.

Grandma’s Secret also says it gets out fabric bleeds. I’ve got a few things (sadly) that I can test that claim on and give you the update in a later post. In the mean time, don’t throw away that cherished clothing item just yet. Run out and buy a bottle of Grandma’s Secret. It may just do the trick.
