This Old-School Stain Remover Trick I Learned from My Mom Is So Unexpected

"When I was growing up, shampoo options were limited, and Johnson's Baby Shampoo was a household staple. It lathered well, smelled clean, and was gentle enough to use every day. At some point, my mom realized that same gentleness made it effective on clothes, too. She believed in the product so completely that I never questioned it - and eventually, I adopted the same habit in my own home."

"This is the exact method my mom has used for decades, and the one I still rely on today: Apply a generous amount of baby shampoo directly onto the stain. Gently rub the shampoo into the fabric. Rinse the stained area under cold running water. Soak the garment in a bowl of cold water for 30 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with cold water. Reapply shampoo if needed. Repeat steps 4 and 5. Lay flat to air-dry."

Johnson's Baby Shampoo can lift stains from clothing without specialty removers or harsh chemicals. The method involves applying a generous amount of baby shampoo to the stain, gently rubbing it into the fabric, rinsing under cold running water, soaking the garment in cold water for 30 minutes, rinsing again, reapplying if needed, repeating the soak, and laying the item flat to air-dry. Johnson's Baby Shampoo lathers well, smells clean, and is gentle on fabric, making it suitable for delicate garments. The approach has been a household staple and long-practiced stain-removal technique.
