White Baseball pants...HOW??

Growing up we always bleached the beejeebers out of whites, and then added in a little blueing, which counteracts the yellow/grey tinge that all whites are known for. (We did the same for white socks/markings on the horses, as well, before shows... the blueing that is).

http://www.mrsstewart.com/ is the blueing we always used at home and in the barn. The website is, well, terrible. But the product is fantastic.

We have the same pants for my son's t-ball team, and I always wondered, "why white?" I use a combination of bleach and either Spray & Wash MAX OR Shout. After spraying on the treatment, I rub it in like crazy with a brush and let it sit for a while. Then I add the bleach to the bleach dispenser for the wash cycle. There have been occasions, with particularly bad grass/dirt stains, where I have put a little bleach right on top of the other treatment as well and then scrubbed with a brush before putting it into the machine.

Hope this helps.

My daughter plays for a travel softball club and I was having the same problems.. This seems to work for me (she even has a white jersey that still looks brand new!) As soon as she gets home, she takes off all the white stuff and I soak it in Oxyclean for a couple of hours to get all the initial dirt out. Then I do a load of whites with the dirty stuff, use my regular detergent and add a package of the tide stain releaser. It comes in a capsule type thing like dishwashing detergent. Everything comes right out. Good Luck!

Soaking in Oxyclean works best for us too.

my son plays football and his pants are also white. I use a spray called "Awesome" it works great gets out blood, mud and any thing else you can think of. it's also great for cleaning shoes. you can find it at most $.99 cent stores i don't know if they still sell it in the regular stores like Target. good luck!

I have had this problem for years. The more I have to wash the pants the better the game was. I have had good luck with palmolive and phelthnaptha (sp?). both of them are bar soap. The palmolive is a green bar about the size of a regular bar of soap. The other is a laundry soap and will be found with all the laundry soaps. It is a red and green wrapper and is a rectangular shape. It smells funny but it works. As a side not I have also used it for poision oak. good Luck and have fun on hte field.

i spray the heck out w/ spray and wash (or what ever spray i have) us detergent and clorox 2 run it in the extra soiled setting on super hot. and that works.

My son has been playing baseball for about 9yrs and they way I clean his pants is with Soil of Love... it's in a green bottle and you can purchase it at the 99 cent store. I also use a bar of soap called Zote. I scrub them and let the soak and then I do let them run through the washing machine with a little bit of bleach. I think that should work... good luck!!! 

Hi S.,

I was reading some of the other comments and wanted to share with everyone what I know about bleach. I am pleading with all of you NOT to use Bleach it's really dangerous. Just a few days ago I posted some really good information about the dangers of using bleach on my blog. Please read it. I hope you find the information useful. There are many safe alternatives to bleach that work.

Hi S., soake them overnight in oxyclean (I put a lot of the soap it in the laundry and leave it all night)...if it has stains I do a paste with the soap and rubb it in...and leave overnight soaking...it has saved a lot of my clothes and rugs after bad stains...same with my son's baseball pants. =)

This is going to be hard to believe but it works. A bar of Ivy soap. My girls wear uniforms to school and their shirts are white so you can imagine how bad they look after a hard day of school. It even takes out red lipstick.

Good Luck

Best product every made BIZ - soaking agent, which works if you presoak it then wash normally. Cleaned my son's pants all the times when I needed clean white baseball pants.

powder dish washer detergent and hot water, let it soak for a little while, more dirt more soaking, then scrub from the inside of the pant out. Sometime no scrubbing even required, just the soak and a rinse! good luck it works for my baseball players
