Stain Fighting Power

Today’s TeeCycle blog has a link to Defunkd Vintage T-shirt, which is an online shop that specializes in vintage t-shirts. They are serious about vintage t-shirts and have a seriously cool website and blog - I love that the search box in the blog says “Ye Olde Search Bar…”

Today, I am wearing one of my old favorite t-shirts today, light blue poly cotton t-shirt from Covered Bridge Pizza in North Kingsville, Oh - I “borrowed” this shirt from a friend years ago - I have never been to the Covered Bridge but I know that it is the pizza shop near Calvary Camp - where we spend a few summers and she worked as a counselor. (By the way the Calvary Camp website has a really nice photo of the week page, it is interesting to see the camp in the winter).

Anyhow, I am worried about my covered bridge t-shirt - getting a few stains and may be time for retirement. Fortunately - Defunkd has a great post on t-shirt stain removal - with some super serious suggestions for getting the stains out of your favorite shirts.

Of the list of 11 stain fighting weapons my favorite are

• white vinegar - old stand by
• the blow out gun - i want one of these!
• hair spray - who knew that it worked on ink stains!

I also appreciate the suggestion of making peace with your stain…

If all the previous methods fail you, we highly suggest learning to cope with your stain. Try putting some effort into your relationship. Eventually you’ll find your stain is a great listener and you just might warm up to it.

If your favorite t-shirt is from Spreadshirt you can always come back to Spreadshirt.com and make a new one
