Scrubbers' Corner: What's the best stain remover out there?

NEA Today, Feb 2004 by Morris, Kathy, Lewis, Rhonda

In November we asked this question. You answered:

During the school year, I have the students donate several items for classroom use. Items that are particularly handy are boxes of baby wipes. These are excellent for wiping hands after recess and before lunch, cleaning up desk tops, wiping dry erase boards, and even cleaning small spills on the carpet. Ycu'll be surprised at all the helpful, quick uses these wipes will provide.

The best stain remover came from my mother. It is equal parts of dish detergent, ammonia, and water. I put it in a squeeze bottle and use it for laundry, carpet stains, and much more.
