Dear Charles the butler,

I work in the motel business and am looking for a natural stain removal solution for white linens and towels.  Currently No Name bleach (which I personally think is a waste of money) and Oxi are being used to no avail… Please help!

Thank you,
Linda

Dear Linda,

Because your question is about commercial laundry cleaning, I thought it best to ask a good friend, Jackie Creed of Creeds Dry Cleaning, what his thoughts were regarding your question.

Jackie said that the first problem is stain identification, because one type of cleaner does not remove all kinds of stains.

So, for example, a food-based stain needs to be removed with a product such as OxiClean®, while an oil-based stain requires a different type of cleaner, one that is petroleum-based.

Remember that “like removes like.”

To summarize, my advice would be to determine what your stains are, treat them accordingly and then continue your professional washing program.

Good luck and  let us know your results!
