    Title of Your Idea:
    Tougher Laundry Detergent for the working person
    What's Your Idea?:

       My husband worked in factories while he was in college and now 5 years later is a full time Diesel Engine

    Techinician. Every job he had throughout his life in multiple fields of trade, most required uniforms (because of

    fluids/grease/general filth).  I still cannot get all of the 'stuff' out of the uniforms, both the smell and the unknowns

    on them.  I have tried EVERYTHING.  I learned I do a better job than the uniform companies.  (that's saying alot if

    they cannot even get uniforms all the way clean.)  Other people have also asked how or what to do about how to

    clean them.  I believe a good product that can take the smell and at least the general flith out of the uniforms

    would be a very profitable product that would also help so many other families.  There are millions of mechanics

    and hard factory laborers in this country that could use this product.  I would also like the mindset that I can clean

    his uniforms.

      Thank you for sharing.  Have a clean, fresh smelled cloth is definitely our goal.  Let us understand your current process of cleaning your husband's uniform.  Do you use bleach and pre-soak the uniform before putting it in the washer machine?  Do you use stain remover?  Would a bleach and stain remover combo laundry detergent make sense to you?  Please advise. Thank you for your feedback!

       The best combo that I am currently using is;

      I spray with 'Shout'

      Then soak in hot water for 4-6 hrs with 'Tide Stain Release Boost'  and 'A&H with Oxyclean gel'

      Then double rinse in hot water. 

      Hang and 'Febreeze'.

      This has been the combo I have used in the past 6 wks.  I have had this problem since 2008 and I have tried probably close to everything you can buy at a variety of stores.  I am open to any suggestions.  Thanks!

      What color is your husband's uniform?  Have you tried using bleach?  Thanks for your feedback!
