So Long Period Stains
Who hasn't had a period stain or two along the way? From undies to fav jeans, period stains can be a royal pain. But happily they're often non-fatal and can be mostly/completley removed.
What period stain removal strategies have you tried and what works best for you?

Shampoo is NOT just for Hair
WITHOUT FAIL - If you use any SHAMPOO, it will take out period stains...even if you are not able to wash it straightaway.
Try it!!!

Things that work for me
I use cold water and Ivory soap. It takes some scrubbing. The other way I've found is cold water and baking soda. If the stain is not fresh rub the baking soda in a bit then let it soak.

Ammonia before water!!
A little of ammonia on the stain before you throw it in the wash. It has always worked for me!

Dr. Bronner's Castille Soap!
This is the only thing that has ever truly worked for me. Just squirt some in your hand, run the underwear under cold water and rub two sides of the underwear together briskly, making a foam. I don't think the scent matters but I usually use peppermint or lavendar. Also, the words on the bottle are just so weird, you'll be entertained through the inconvenience of having to wash your underwear in the middle of the day. Also, if you're a true freak for the "all-purpose", it's biodegradable and you can use it as a shampoo, body wash, hand soap, kitchen and bathroom cleaner, and floor cleaner... and other things, I believe the bottle says 18-in-1.

Oxyclean, liquid DialSoap, COLD water, Peroxide if colorfast
I agree I us Oxyclean, but it isn't as activated unless you first get it going with hot water to start the proper chemical reaction. Then wait maybe 5 minutes for it to cool and fill rest of container/sink whatever you use (I have a small bucket I use so I can let them soak as much as I want) with cold water while adding whatever is soiled. Don't add soiled into the hot it will set the stain a bit. Peroxide is good if you have white underwear or colorfast (mine are not they are black cotton). Also if it's a fresh wet stain I save my old toothbrushes for cleaning and I have found that cold water and liquid Dial soap works very well also.
