35.

I started this homemade shout stuff a few days ago...and to be honest with you...I finally did a load of laundry yesterday.....I get busy sometimes. Anyways, I threw in 2 "test" shirts to see if the shout actually worked, and I'm really surprised how well it did. I've seen this recipe 2 places on the internet [ here and here] so I figured why not?

What you need:
-2/3 cups Dawn Dishwashing Liquid  [I used the last bit of my Palmolive and it worked fine]
-2/3 cups ammonia
-6 Tblsp baking soda
-2 cups warm water
-Empty spray bottle [I recycled one]

Mix everything together, and pour into your spray bottle.
To use: Shake up the mixture. Spray directly onto the stain before putting it in the wash, rubbing it in if necessary. Wash as usual.


And like I said I tested it out for you too.
This time I did ketchup and chocolate.
I rubbed little stains into some clothes James out grew month and months ago.
[You may recognize these from before haha]
Also, I apologize for the next two pictures...they were taken in my horribly lit basement laundry room.
Its hard to tell...but the ketchup stain pretty much came out when I sprayed it.
The white shirt wasn't as lucky as the orange one...this was after I even rubbed the shout in...and I was getting ready for total disappointment.
But after I took them out of the dryer I was pleasantly surprised! The chocolate stain on the white shirt didn't come out all the way but it's hardly visible, so I can live with that.

  1. Thank you for pinning me! I have been pleasantly surprised with the homemade laundry products. Try 1/2 cup washing soda, 1/2 cup hydrogen peroxide, and 1 cup water to make "Oxi-Clean". I use it in every load and it seems to be doing wonders for all my laundry. P.S. I fill my laundry machine with water, add the detergent, Unstopables, and the "Oxi-Clean," then load in the clothes and let them soak for an hour or sometimes longer. My whites are SUPER bright now and my colors are more well...COLORFUL!! :)
