activated charcoal

Does anyone have any suggestions to remove charcoal from a white scrub top? :angryfire My favorite one I must say Only a few spots but enough to ruin it. Don't know why I didn't wear navy that night!!!

Try oxyclean and baking soda. If not there is a bottle of stain remover called AWSOME that removes even blood. Good luck. :)

Blood can actually be removed with 3% Hydrogen Peroxide which is much cheaper. Just put the item in the sink and pour the bubbly over and watch the blood just bubble up and go down the drain. :)

Jessica Gomez asked about blood, I told her that there was something that was much cheaper to use.

Charcoal+scrubs=trash. There isnt anything in my may years of emergency medical care that anyone I know has been able to get it out.
