Homemade stain remover that comes together in just a few minutes and works even better than the Shout you buy in the store. I save a ton of money making my own laundry detergent and DIY stain remover. This stuff is safe for your HE machines as well! You will want to thank me. I promise 🙂
This is what my kitchen looks like. Can you even call that a kitchen? My mantra right now that I continually repeat in my head is, “It will be amazing when it is done. It will be amazing when it is done….”
I could blabber on for pages on the struggles of cooking for my family right now, but I’ll just smile and be honest with you.
Since little to no cooking is coming out of my kitchen right now, I thought it was a perfect time to post my next laundry recipe: my homemade stain remover. Yep, I use it and love it! And again, I just use my old Shout bottle to store it in.
I’ve posted many cooking and baking recipes over the years which resulted in messages saying how much you love them. Should I be offended though that all of those emails pale in comparison to the response I got about the homemade laundry detergent recipe? I’m confident this homemade stain remover recipe will follow the same pattern. It is fab!
This is a baking/cooking blog after all! I guess I should just be happy that you are trying stuff out, even if you can’t eat your results.

TY for the DIY Shout recipe!
Your kitchen will be more of a blessing and enjoyment to you when it’s finished than if you had a ready-made one. When we put in the work and deal with the inconvenience, we get to enjoy it even more and the pride of getting the job done is immense!
Mrs T – The ammonia smell is not strong at all, but it is there.
Does it have a strong amonia smell?

I to am a stay at home mother of 5 kids 3 are 5 and under and we go threw laundry like water so im so looking forward to trying you laundry soap but do you think your shout will take our car greese and tractor greese?
MaulFair – I think it should do a great job on your grease stains because of the Dawn. Let me know how it goes!
I am so excited to try this! I just got back from walmart and got all of the stuff for the detergent AND the shout! Question: is the shout safe for front loaders? A few weeks ago I pretreated some stains with dawn dishsoap (not very dilluted though), and the suds were coming out of our front load washer like crazy!! We’ve only had the front loaders for a few weeks, so we’re still learning how they work! 🙂
Kylee: I have an HE machine as well, but it is a top loader version. I have never had trouble using it in my HE machine.
Thanks Carole. Last night i whipped up some shout, fabric softner, and detergent! About to go do some loads of laundry! Thanks for the tips!
I hate ammonia. Do u think I can still make this and it be effective?
I wouldn’t try it. The ammonia does such a great job with greasy stains.
