Keepin' it Clean

We are a baseball family...to the core. 
Blake has played year round baseball since he was 9 and now he a freshman in High School. 


(He just turned 15 a couple of days ago.)

Jordan is almost 11.
They are growing up way too fast!



So, over the years we've perfected (said very loosely) the art of getting the white pants that our coaches almost always picked for us CLEAN. When they were little it was easy to buy 2 pair.  As they get older into the MAN SIZE these pants are almost $60/pair...soooo....we wash on Sat. night and they are all clean on Sunday for what will hopefully be a full day of game play. 

I thought I would share my tips for those just starting out! Enjoy this time in your son's baseball life........it goes FAST!!!


Before




Use any DISHWASHER fluid like Cascade or anything off brand. (lemon is my favorite)
Use a scrubber of your choice. i.e. kitchen sink brush or toothbrush to gently scrub the liquid into the stains


SOAK FOR 20 MIN. IN HOT WATER


SOAK AND WASH on HOT water

I use Oxi Clean in the wash with the pants


AFTER
ALL CLEAN!
PICTURE READY!
