EDITED: As its been a few years since I posted this and I still LOVE this miracle cleaner (and it's football season again), I thought I'd repost and update :-)
Happy cleaning!
In the midst of all the wedding planning, we've been in the midst of football playoff season. Not sure why anyone ever thought white uniforms were a good idea...but that is a discussion for another day! For now, I just want to share the best thing since sliced bread. AK and I can't remember exactly where we discovered the recipe for this cheap and oh so simple spot remover, but are we happy we found it!! Not only does it take care of every day stains on clothes...but it knocks out ground in football stains better than anything else I've tried. AND it's useful for removing cooked on eggs from pans, whitening grout in the bath tub, getting out stains from carpets and couches (diluted a bit). The stuff is seriously amazing!

So what is it made from??
NOTE: After it sits for a little bit, the cleaner will turn a pink/purple color.
Equal parts Dawn Dish Soap (regular blue or the overnight soaking power) and hydrogen peroxide. Both can be gotten in bulk for very reasonable prices at Costco (SCORE!) Mix in a spray bottle and you're good to go!
For regular stains on clothes, I just spray and throw it in the washer. BUT for stains like these???
I sprayed the worst spots (in this case, that meant pretty much the entire surface of the pants!!), threw them in the washer, poured a little extra of the stain remover in for good measure, and let the washer fill and agitate a little. Then, I turned the washer off and let it soak overnight or for several hours. Once it's soaked, I turned the washer on to finish cycling. After it was finished, I put a little bit of laundry soap in and ran it through another whole wash cycle.
NOTE: I discovered that there's no need to add any extra laundry soap. The dawn takes care of all sweaty-boy smell and the uniforms come out nice and clean!
And here's the results!!
AMAZING!!!
