s/o laundry...

I noticed that baby clothes that I have from GAP and Gymboree are all coming out of my wash with what look like oil spots on them. And some aren't even in areas where there would be food getting on them.  It's mostly fabrics that are very soft, which is why I'm noticing it in the more expensive clothes.  Any idea what this could be? I just bought oxy clean to add to the wash to maybe get rid of whatever these are..do I just add it to the drum before the wash cycle goes on? (I have a front loader)

All my cutest clothes are getting ruined! Wahh!

Any chance there was a chap stick in the laundry?

Do you use fabric softener or dryer sheets?  They will leave oily spots.  Resolve stain stick or bar soap or chalk will get it out.  (And not using those products anymore.)

I don't know about the oily spots, but if it's powdered OxyClean, I just put it in the drawer with my powder detergent. You might try a spray-pon treatment, though, since it's spots.

I've heard of the chalk trick too. I hat when nice clothes get ruined. J's Polo lost the battle with a chocolate fountain from my nephew's bday party last weekend.

No tips, but I'm glad I'm not the only laundry-challenged!

Yes, I know what you have!  Those are called water spots.  The brand I buy/resell for C is Mini Boden and while the clothes are really nice, they're notorious for water spots.  The trick is to soak in blue Dawn dishwashing soap and then lau
