My favorite green stain remover is a soap from Germany called ‘Gallseife’ – bile soap. It’s made from a plant based soap mixed with ox bile as a stain removing agent, it’s hypoallergenic and completely biodegradable. It removes all sorts of difficult stains especially grease, protein, blood, starch and fruit stains. You just wet the stain with cold water and rub the soap on than either rinse or just throw it in with your laundry. It can be used on rugs and couches too. I found one brand on amazon.com and it’s pretty expensive there, but one bar lasts maybe a year or so even if you use it alot. It’s a great stain remover for all those weird unidentifiable stains on kids clothes. It’s one of those things i always get when i visit back home, because there is nothing comparable here.
