So I tried this and it works great! Made my son’s onesies whiter than ever.. and those stained dish towels are now new again.
Only downfall is that I used my calphalon pot to soak and it left a white residue all over the inside. Total bummer since it wouldn’t scrub off. Now I do the soaking in a bucket and cover the top with a folded towel to lock the steam.

Sounds awesome! What about bleeding though… i.e. any bleeding during this process or how to treat “bleeds”?

I’m not sure, I haven’t tried that personally.

I don’t have any Oxy Clean (or anything of the like) but I did see someone mention that liquid hydrogen peroxide would work. How much liquid would be comparable to the powder?

Thanks!

That is a great result, especially with blueberry stains which are a bear to get out. I also recommend using liquid hydrogen peroxide, which is basically what oxyclean is in powdered form. I love that (generally) hydrogen peroxide is safe for colors, because who just stains white stuff that you can bleach?

Just to let you know…..this works great but will remove iron on numbers/names from uniforms. I learned the hard way. Also certain detergents will react to the intense heat and change the color of the garment.

Hi Emily, I’m sure that would work fine. Some people may even have water from the tap that is hot enough as it is.

I stumbled upon your site searching for a way to get yellow “storage stains” out of several white Strausburg dresses. I’m wondering: since I have quite a few to clean, and no way do I have a big enough pan, what if I used my washing machine as the pot, and poured the water heated on the stove into it?

Thanks! Now I’m off to read about this no-spending month…
