Pit stains? ketchup slips? yellow on white?
Don't despair. I had researched and researched... on the internet. First, use Oxi clean. Why? because most stains can be removed with this product. Do I own one? Hell no. I like my 6 bucks. Copy and paste this link into your browser and check out this specific laundry stain remover.

I use 1.5 cups of hydrogen peroxide with 2 tables spoons of baking soda. Both are less than 3 bucks, yet it does the same amount of work as Oxi clean does.
The other is Borax. Ok.. Borax is a borate compound that does many things. One of them is a laundry detergent. It is also a polymer. You can use Borax with hard water, it actually works better in hard water.
I really love white shirts. I feel clean and refined. Sometimes they are difficult to maintain. One thing I keep in mind as I wear them is that I have to take them off as soon as I get home. Buy a bucket from the grocery store and keep it in handy for white shirts. Remember, as soon as you get home, fill it up to the brim with mild water and pour in your favorite detergent
