Comparing Stain Treatments

I took a pink sweater made from 64% rayon and 36% nylon and poured spicy brown mustard in three different places on the garment. I rubbed in the mustard and let it sit for three minutes.

I used the following spray-on stain treatments:

• Clorox Oxi Magic
• Spray & Wash with Lemon Power
• Shout Triple Action

I covered each stain with the treatment, rubbed the cleaner in gently and let it sit for a few minutes. I then put the sweater in the gentle cyle of my washing machine. I immediately took the shirt out as soon as it was finished. I could still see the stain in every place I had put the mustard. But the Spray & Wash seemed to make the stain slightly less visible.

I then reapplied the treatments to the exact same areas on the sweaters and ran it through the wash again. This time, every stain was non-existant. I got other people's opinions as well. No one could tell me where the original stains were.

So if you have a mustard stain and you don't know which of these products to use, I would recommend whichever one is on sale.
