  1. Bright White is a laundry detergent that is sold in a white plastic bottle. It is sold in most grocery stores along with all the other detergents. It gets any stain out – even rust stains from shirts!
    Sometimes you have to let it soak overnight, but it always works on any kind of stain.

  2. Hope the haz mat team will charge for stupidity. They may stop coming into town like ciu. Remember when Lakewood had a haz mat team? No need to call another town in. But like everything else money is more important than safety.
