Our DD played travel softball for years. Never failed to have white uniforms.
Red clay infields and you get the picture.
One of the dad’s had a method that involved oxyclean, arm and hammer powdered detergent and a bar of soap that you can find in Latin grocery stores (starts with an N).
Rub the stains with the bar of soap both sides of the fabric. Spray with pre treat. Then in a five gallon bucket of cold water, pour in a can of Coca Cola and two cups powdered detergent with one scoop oxyclean. Next day wash in warm. Don’t dry if stain still present.
I am sure CaptMJ’s is a better recipe for Navy whites.
If you are a parent who lives far far away from the yard, like me, you never see your MIDN’s laundry. He has never brought it home.
