    @Freckles: if you've never tried a hot overnight oxiclean soak, now is the time! I so regret many years of throwing items away because of a stubborn stain!!

    @sunny: where'd you'd get the new one? I would love to upgrade. Do you think the canvas is harder to use...I like how light the mesh bags are.

    @sandy: We got this one:
    http://www.costco.com/Seville-Classics%C2%AE-Laundry-Sorter-II-with-Adjustable-Hanger-Bar.product.11220082.html

    I never took the bags off the old one because it was such a pain to get them back on and make them stay. So for me, this one is better because I can take the canvas bag off and bring it downstairs to the laundry room (we keep the sorter in our bathroom). The bag is heavier than the mesh bag, especially since there is the metal handle, but I don't mind it. I like having the top bar to stick random things we need to go get drycleaned or handle specially, but they have a version without the top bar too.

    @mrs. wagon: I never knew to use hot water to pre-soak. So you shoot the stain with Oxyclean and then leave it in the hot water for how long? Do you also wash in hot water?

    @sunny: i shoot the stain with oxiclean spray, then I put a scoop of oxiclean powder in a small plastic tub and run super hot water into it until it dissolves. Then I soak the clothes overnight. Next day (24 hrs later) I put it thru the wash, on cold.

    @sunny: some people told me to make a paste of oxiclean to scrub into the stain but it never works for me. It just flakes off.

    @mrs. wagon: Thanks! I'll give it a try.

    Ya I have never been able to get the paste to work. It just gets messy and doesn't stay on the stain.
