I have never had this problem. Do you follow the instructions? Putting the pod in first then your water then your clothes? I hope that this will solve your problem

I have had the stains several times. Tried using bleach or non-chlorine bleach but clothing had already been through the dryer so I could not get rid of the stains. Yesterday, my husband's polo shirt came out with a round splotch on the front. I tried rewashing it but that didn't help. Guess I'll have to use Stain Out or similar next. I wrote to Tide about the problem and they suggest I call them to discuss solution. I'll do that.

I have to say that I have never had an issue with these pods. I love the product and have used them since they came out on the market. Also I just throw the pod on top of the clothes and start the washer and go,

I have never had that problem. I would just put it through another washing cycle without the Pod, it should wash itself out.

I don't know, but you have to put the pod in the water to dissolve first, then add clothes, instead of putting it on the clothes.

I just use soap and water. I was it out right away and make sure it dries completely. I'm sure some kind of cleaning solution would work hopefully...

Try CLR Kitchen Cleaner. Takes all the stains out and makes them look like new. Soap won't work. Makes them clean, but leaves all the stains.

I would try a small amount of mineral spirits dabbed on the fabric until its gone. If you can launder the item I would then use spray and wash on that spot and wash the item.

My problem was similar to yours - burnt pasta sauce. I soaked the inside of the pot with hot water and the new Dawn Ultra. The next morning the bottom scrubbed clean but left a dark stain. The stain was completely removed using the Dormond product. Cheers.

Its nylon so I say wipe it with a wet rag. I know peroxide will take out stains.

You could also try nail polish remover. Dab the spot until it is dissolved and then launder.

Hello B,That's very unfortunate, as the material is primarily Nylon, I would attempt using a mild laundry detergent & warm water mixture in a small area to see if this will help. If not, I understand that hydrogen peroxide (20% strength) will also help remove tough stains with no need to rinse, just air dry. If still possible, consider returning & reordering this product. I hope this information helps you.

I've rinsed the area of spill with water and used small amount of dish soap before stain dries. To avoid the problem, I wear an old garment while applying.

Fill the sink with a bit of bleach water, and let it soak. I have gotten all the stains off of mine that way!

I have never had that problem. I would suggest pouring undiluted white vinegar in the carafe and let it soak for awhile. That has removed stains in my coffee carafe.

Did you run them thru the dishwasher? Can't do that, wash them with a soapy scrub pad that will take the excess tarnish off but handels will remain discolored. Sorry

They use to be clear now the pods are yellowish. They recently added a "natural cleaning stain booster" to the Free & Clear detergent. It's on their web site http://www.all-laundry.com/. I haven't figured out what the "Natural" stuff is yet.

now thats a manufacturers question. good thoughts using water. without going through the headache of potentially buying something that would cause even more damage i might try cleaning the entire cube with a regular gentle all natural fabric cleaner. at the very least it would ensure a uniformly cleaned cube... good luck !!

Toss it in the washer and dryer. Do not wash with other items; the maroon will bleed onto them.

I have never been able to get the color out of clothes! Amazing, since it is temporary color! But, on the clothes I have stained with the dye, they are ruined!

Hi! I recently experienced a similar problem! I had removed all the filters (there are three removable ones - two foam and one white paper), washed them all, cleaned everything off the beater bar/roller, shook out the tube/hose, even unscrewed the bottom and cleaned out whatever I could find there too! Still, as soon as I turned it on, it was going to red! Grrrrrr I FINALLY found the problem. You might have already checked this, but just in case, sharing it here. It might help you or someone else. When looking at back of the vacuum, on the right side, BEHIND the main tube/hose, you can see the tube attach to the black vacuum base which feeds into the clear body where the dirt goes in. I could not see any clogs anywhere. BUT - this part of the tube/hose COMES OFF - it is easy to overlook, but it twists and releases. I did that as a last resort, and found my problem! There was a piece of paper in there, and all kinds of dirt and hair (we all shed some and have two cats) were packed pretty solid behind the paper! It took a tool like a crochet hook to get it all out and unpacked! (I have a metal "tube turner" for sewing, which is what I used, but anything super thin and long can work, as long as you do not go THROUGH the hose.) I took an amazing amount of junk that had not come out when shaking the hose, cleaning things, even taking the rest of the vacuum apart... it hides in that last curve of the hose! I hope this helps someone else, because this is a great little powerhouse of the vacuum that is perfect for our little townhouse. But the clogging does happen sometimes, and I've now found the FIRST place I'll look, instead of the dead last! ;-)
