One Good Thing By Jillee’s Method
Like most things from Jillee, this stain remover builds on classic household methods and materials: hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, Dawn dishwashing liquid, and a toothbrush. They come together into a paste, like this:
- Saturate the stain with hydrogen peroxide.
- Add a few drops of the Dawn liquid detergent.
- Sprinkle a layer of baking soda over the Dawn.
- Use the toothbrush to scrub the ingredients into a paste and into the stain. If it gets too runny, add more baking soda, and if it gets too thick, add more hydrogen peroxide.
- Let the stain sit with the paste for half an hour to an hour. I split the difference and let mine sit for about 45 minutes.
- Launder as you normally would.
The Verdict
Pretty good, but not perfect! The stain – which, to be fair, was probably the harshest of the four – has faded significantly, but not entirely. The paste didn’t lather up as much for me as it seems to normally do for Jillee, so this method is one you need to finagle with a bit to get just right. If I try it again, I’d definitely let it sit for an hour, and probably add some more of all of the ingredients to really work up a lather.
So, Which One’s The Most Unexceptional?
Isn’t it obvious, if not expected?
It’s the aloe vera! Not only was this method effective, it also was really easy, natural and gentle. Plus, it smelled the Most Unexceptional! The hairspray, of all things, comes in second, closely followed by the hydrogen-peroxide-and-baking-soda paste, and if we account for first-time-user-error, the two would probably be tied. The chalk comes in last for sure, and we do not recommend it. Aloe vera all the way!
