I have a pair of blue scrubs that somehow got a big stain on them. I threw them in the laundry one day and they came out with a stain on them, it looks like a big wet spot that just wont come out. I’ve washed them over and over but nothing seems to help. People have been giving me tips all week but nothing seems to work. Any tip will be greatly appreciated

    If it looks like it is wet, then it could be some kind of grease.
    Dawn dish-washing liquid is the best thing to lift grease. Pour it on the stain and scrub. Let it sit for 20 minutes and then launder in warm water with Tide Stain Release.
    If you have put them in the dryer, then the stain will have baked right into the fabric and nothing will move it.

    i had a big stain on my khaki’s,not sure if grease or what. got a little bottle of shout (the one with the little orange scrubber on it) that got it out, also look for a product called "totally awesome" it removed several stains in my yellow uniform shirts that nothing else would. you could also try a mixture of peroxide and baking soda scrubbed with a toothbrush (test to make sure it dosen’t fade color first. when i worked as a medical assisant at blood bank, i’d get blood and plasma stains. first thing i’d do is use either peroxide with toothbrush on fabric when i got home or spray amonia on to dissolve stain.

    Softner can leave a stain like that – soak your scrubs in dawn and run it through the wash

    I don’t know if it will help, but whenever I have an article of clothing I like that I cannot remove the stain from, I usually hand paint or embroider a design over it.

    I mean just in case you find you cannot remove the stain
    there are lots of alternatives you have if whoever you work for
    doesn’t mind you having a design on your scrubs.

    There are also nice appliques and iron-on designs available from
    most craft stores that are inexpensive and are easy to apply.

    It sounds to me like you have a grease stain that sometimes remains after an initial stain has been removed. There are a few things that I do when this happens. I press with an iron over the spot with a paper towel between the fabric and iron. This helps to blot it up. Also, I find the Resolve stain remover works pretty well. Nothing works 100%. Good luck.
