It banished "tattle-tale grey."
In old ads, Fels-Naptha soap was praised for banishing tough stains, dirt, and grease from clothes. It was marketed as a versatile and effective laundry soap for tackling difficult cleaning tasks.
Fels Naptha soap is made from a mixture of sodium tallowate, sodium palmate, and sodium cocoate (soap derived from animal and plant fats). It also contains water, talc, coconut acid, palm acid, palm kernel acid, fragrance, sodium chloride, glycerin, pentasodium pentetate, pentaerythrityl tetra-di-t-butyl hydroxyhydrocinnamate, and titanium dioxide.
Order it online from any paint dealer, such as MisterArt.com, or do a search for VM&P Naptha MSDS.. open any of the PDF files listed, then just go to the parent site of that file and browse till you find it. It is almosts always sold as a paint thinner at stores like this. Now go forth, and extract something great. Oh, shhh!
It is by letting 1/4 -- previously grated into shavings -- of the soap bar dissolve in 1 quart (0.95 liters) of water warming over medium heat before cooling to room temperature for mixing with 1/4 cup (30 milliliters) of rubbing alcohol in 1 quart (0.95 liters) of water that fels-naptha can be made into insecticide. The spray -- which can be tested upon a plant and inspected after a 24-hour wait for apprising plant responses -- needs to soak leaves and stems from top to bottom every 2 - 3 days until the pesty attacks cease.
Use rubbing alcohol on your tools, wash them down (using your rag) with the alcohol and then dry and oil your tools so they don't rust. For your clothing or gloves use fels-naptha soap (it's an old fashioned wood ash lye soap)
Fels-Naptha is a common brand of brown bar soap that is used for treating stains on clothes. It has been a popular choice for generations due to its effectiveness in removing tough stains.
First, I would try white vinegar to remove it. Just pour a generous amount on and then BLOT with a dry towel--do not rub it, that just sets the stain further. Second, if the vinegar didn't work, I would get yourself a bar of the best miracle laundry soap ever: Fels Naptha. Warm water with a generous lather of the soap...a bit of a scrub with a light brush to try to lift the stain out (rather than rubbing it in). Perhaps even let it soak in some warm water with the Fels Naptha on it and just a tiny amount of bleach. Rinse well. That should work fairly well. I recommend always having a bar of Fels Naptha and white vinegar on hand. They get out almost ANY stain on ANY fabric. Also a tip: white wine removes red wine on anything. Just pour the white wine on the red wine stain and watch it disappear. Try Borax, in the laundry detergent aisle at the store. I heard it is good with colors that have run onto other fabrics.
Common ingredients in homemade laundry detergent include washing soda, borax, grated bar soap (such as Fels-Naptha), and optional essential oils for fragrance. These ingredients are mixed together to create a cost-effective and eco-friendly alternative to store-bought detergents.
