Facing a Lady Macbeth-caliber stain?

The Bite:
Then laundry's the last of your worries. But once you've gotten rid of the body, reach for an eco-stain remover. A lil' sponge bath with a natural product beats the typical soiled-bodice cleaners, and isn't murder on our water supplies.
The Benefits: 
  • Averting a tragedy. Cleaning products such as traditional stain removers are responsible for nearly 10% of all calls to poison control. Keep yourself and your kids out of harm's way with nontoxic alternatives.
  • Noble water savings. The average washer uses 40 gallons per load. Use a stain remover to treat stains when they happen, then let 'em sit until you've got a full load.
Personally Speaking: 
Got all-natural, supereffective remedies for stains that don't require shelling out any cash? We do, in the blog.
Wanna Try: 

Cocktail Fact

In Air Force slang, a laundry bag is a parachute.

Bang For The Bite

If 10,000 Biters spot treat 10 articles of clothing and throw them in with the normal wash instead of immediately running the washer after each stain, we'll save enough water to fill 24 water towers.
