Removing stains...

Problem: Bloodstains on the sheets
What to use: Cake of soap; Napisan; or Glycerine, cotton balls
How to apply: Damp the soap in cold water and rub over the stain. Then rub the stain against itself vigorously until it's removed. You may need to do this a few times. Put the sheets through the washing machine on the cold cycle. An alternative is to soak the stain in Napisan. If the stain has set, apply glycerine with a cotton ball to either side of the stain. Rub in circles from the outside to the inside of the stain until it starts to shift at the edge, then wash in Napisan and cold water.

Problem: Grease on fabric
What to use: Baby oil, cotton ball, Napisan
How to apply: Baby oil is a mineral oil that breaks down grease. Put baby oil on a cotton ball and apply it to the grease. Rub it in circles. Then soak the garment in Napisan and hot water before washing. -
looks like napisan's the way to go with all things

Napisan is not used exclusively for Nappies only. You can use it to soak your soiled garment like your bedsheet, etc before you put it through the wash.Originally posted by the Bear:looks like napisan's the way to go with all things

Never heard of napisan. Never seen it in the supermarkets either. But if it works that well on stains I don't mind checking it out.
