What is the best way to remove yellow mustard from a white cotton T-shirt?

Answer 1

Try some Dove soap or Murphys oil soap at first, sometimes you have to clean a oil or grease stain with an oily substance to dilute the orignial stain. If it looks like it is coming out, then try some prewash, if you don't have prewash use 1 teaspoon of liquid detergent, 1 teaspoon of ammonia and 1 Cup of water mix it and put on stain and let it sit for awhile, then gently go over it with a toothbrush You could try a paste of ammonia and baking soda, let it sit and rinse. Regular white toothpaste, or alcohol Or if you have a bar of Fels Naptha soap (usually found in the detergent aisle on the bottom shelf usually dusty because nobody knows what it is for.) You have in that stain the oil from the mustard plus the color of the Mustard Seed. Bleach would be the last resort use 1 teaspoon of bleach diluted with 1 C of water and dip a rag in that and apply to the stain. For future reference it is good to have the book "the queen of clean" you could no doubt get from Ebay cheap or at Amazon Hope this helps!!
