| Stay Away From Harsh Spot Removers |
|
Many spot removers on the market contain phthalates and other strong solvents. These chemicals can remain on your clothes after washing and be absorbed into the body through the skin. Try a natural alternative instead -- you may find they are as effective as the chemical laden stuff. Better yet, try using some of the things you already have around the house. For example, dabbing a natural dish soap on spots and then pouring boiling water on them right before putting them in the wash is a surprisingly great way to remove even the toughest stains (just don't let the dish soap sit on the clothes for more than 3-5 minutes). This even works on baby and kids clothes!
