      Guess it gives a new meaning to “raw” denim…

      Maybe it’s just his own hack for restoring the original crispiness.

              I’m a certified slob and can testify that this stain removal technique is highly effective. It also works on leather.

                I once managed to remove an oil stain with baby powder (it was all I had at the time being), but cornstarch or baking soda works better.

                  Anything to draw the oil out of the fabric really.

                  Had a big red wine scare over the weekend. Got some splash back on my white Pronto Anniversary tee. Mixed some dawn with peroxide, equal parts and it was worked like a charm.

                    It also works on Goo Gone. Got some caulk on a new pair of RGTs and the goo gone worked wonders, then the corn starch removed the goo gone.

                      Goo Gone is legit. I like the double tiered method as well. Nicely done.

                        @Matt that’s all thanks to the mommy blogs. Anytime I have a concern about fabric, I head to the mommy blogs lol.

                                Carry some crusty bread with you and just dab it on your pants when you need a snack.

                                  I was at Sam’s Club last week buying bulk mayonnaise like all good midwesterners when I dropped a couple jars of bulk pesto (yes it’s a thing) and one exploded on my jeans and new kicks. It was a whole scene man. Anyway I used the corn starch on the jeans no problem and have been trying use it on the shoes too. Little tougher to get out of suede but I think it’s working
