Ok, long story. I made an awesome Halloween costume for my youngest child, that's made of white and black cotton. It rained pretty heavy on Halloween night, but he insisted on going trick or treating, so I took him. Unfortunately during his run, he got the bottom of his pants, completely soaked in rainy muddy water and dirt. It was my husband's job, when we returned, to hurry and try to wash the pants.
He didn't and instead, stuffed the muddy outfit into a plastic bag, and hid it in the back of the laundry room. I just ran across it late last night. So far, I have it soaking in Oxiclean and cold water. It's been soaking over night, but I can still see tons of the mud. Is there a sure fire method to returning the white parts of these pants back white?
