What do you guys do about severely soiled fleece and uhaul pads? I put in Clorox stain remover and color booster and it doesn't do much with heavily soiled fleece. The uhaul pads are stiff in those areas. TIA

Heavy duty unscented Tide, hot water and bleach. Soak for a while if necessary.

I use unscented tide and a cup of vinegar to my wash. The vinegar helps to get rid of strong odors, disinfects the fleece, and boosts my detergent.

Thanks. @bpatters can you post the link to the heavy duty scent free tide? I'm not finding it online.

I don't see it there, and I'm not at home. I'll look when I get there.

Vinegar does not boost your detergent. In fact, it cuts down on the "sudsing" power of your detergent. You are better off adding the vinegar to the rinse cycle.

Yeah, mistakes all over my post. I meant to say they boost my fleece. It does make the fabric brighter. And I add it to my rinse, not wash cycle. But thanks for correcting.

Do you have a top loader? If so put it through a few soaks and then a few heavy soiled washed. If not I would soak them in the tun in all hot water and detergent and once it starts to cool off use a scrub bush on the hard spots and run through a few heavy soil washes with all hot water.

I checked my Tide. It's actually NOT unscented. The pigs don't seem to mind.
