Equipment

  • 1 large pot or sink
  • 1 large spoon

Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Biz
  • 1 Cup Cascade
  • 1 Gallon Water

Instructions

  • Fill a large pot or sink with a gallon of hot water.
  • Once you have a gallon of hot water add in 1 cup of Biz and 1 cup of Cascade dish detergent.
  • Stir well to make sure that you fully dissolve all of the Biz and Cascade.
  • When you have mixed in all of the biz and cascade you can now add your linen.
  • Spend a minute or two stirring the linens so they don't get too hot on the bottom of the pot.
  • Once you have stirred for a few minutes set a timer for 10 minutes.
  • After 10 minutes check your linens to see if they have turned white and have all the stains gone.
  • Continue to do this until they are a bright white again.
  • When they are white again you can pull them from the pot and rinse them in cool water.
  • Wash them as you usually would. I suggest using the delicate cycle on the washing machine or hand washing.

Notes

Most of my napkins took about 20 minutes and a badly stained tablecloth took 30 minutes.
