Mud Stains on Pink Clothes?!
Can I get mud stains out of pink clothes? I have tried Shout (letting it sit) and laundry detergent directly on the stains but neither has worked. Looking for other ideas. Anything worked for you? Thanks

When I have tough stains like that I soak them (I usually do a small load all at once in my washer) in the hottest water the fabric can take along with equal parts oxyclean and clorox color safe bleach. I let them soak over night, drain the water in the morning, than run them through a normal cycle. Works EVERY time. I sell on ebay, and this is what I do to get clothes looking like new. If you only have one, you can soak in a bucket.

I haven't had much experience with mud, but I got most of a chocolate ice cream stain out of khaki pants to the point where I felt my daughter could wear the pants again.
I soaked them a LOT in cold water with detergent before washing. I also soaked the stained area with dish washing liquid that I scrubbed in using a plastic card (a credit card would work) and a firm brush (like an old toothbrush). I let that soak several times w/the dish washing detergent and then washed it. After about 5-8 total washings, the stain was so faint you could barely see it.
Good luck!

I'm not sure about mud but I love the spray and wash with oxygen (its a squeeze bottle 1 side has pink liquid the other white). For me its gotten out blood, grass stains, sweat stains, and rust.
Target usually has it a bit cheaper than the grocery store.

Try soaking it in a bucket of cold water and oxy clean for about a week.
