Lately i have been doing laundry and noticed on of course old and brand new clothes we bought is what looks like a water spot. Well a lot of water spots. How the heck do you get these out and what causes them? I am so upset that its on new clothes that were not really cheap. Is there a way to get these out? All the moms on here have great advice and figured i would ask. Thanks in advance.

I have finally found a GREAT product that actually cleans my clothes (more impressive - my 7 yr olds clothes) without the use of any soap or toxic chemicals. My favorite part about this product is that I don’t have to sort through each piece of clothing to pre-treat stains. I have successfully laundered blood stains, foods, and dirt without any pretreatment. I do however add 1 cup of distilled white vinegar to my laundry as an antibacterial. For more information the web address is http://www.lifenatural.com/laundry.htm

Another great product that I have been using for years is the Mystic Maid cleaning rag. It is awesome for cleaning glass and mirrors. All you do is wet the rag in water, ring out the excess water and wipe your mirror or glass to a streak free shine. The web address is http://www.mysticmaid.com/

Try shampoo on it. It is designed as a grease cutting agent. I find that it comes from liquid detergent or fabric softner. I usually notice it mostly with cheaper detergent. Spray n Wash usually works too. I switched to powder and it's better.

I have the same problem with my sons clothes as well! I have tried everthing! The only thing that seems to work for me on his dark clothing is to put shout on the spots and then I wash the items again and do not let them dry for long. I lay them flat while they are still pretty wet and it seems to make them disappear.. Not sure why this is working for me. I use tide and the downy ball. Good luck and maybe this will work for you as well!

A., thanks for posting this question. I have the same issue and haven't found anything that works yet either. I am curious to see the responses. Sorry I can't be of help.

Hi A., I have the EXACT same problem, and unfortunately, I cannot solve it. At first I thought it was the liquid detergent somehow, so I dissolve the detergent before putting the clohtes in but no luck. I have switched to powder detergent and it does help. I don't use fabric softener and dryer sheets anymore, and that cuts down on them, but I still have them, mostly on my son's clothes, and I don't know why. The spots do not come out with bar soap, stain removers, elbow grease, etc. Let me know if you can solve it.
