Ring Around the Collar?
Ring around the collar is caused by oil, dirt and grime that
gathers around the neck. Shampoo is made to remove body oils
and will work on an item that is made from those same body
oils. Apply your regular shampoo to the neck area of the
garment, gently scrub, then launder as usual......

BEST GLASS CLEANER ON THE PLANET
My mother gave me this glass cleaner recipe and I used it and was just stunned and amazed. It leaves NO streaks and is very cheap to make. It is just incredible and is the closest thing to the professional spray on alcohol cleaners I have found.
In a gallon size container, mix:
1 cup rubbing alcohol
1 teaspoon people shampoo (cheaper the better)
fill container the rest of the way with water
Add blue food coloring if you need to feel like you have a store bought item. (I actually did this!!)
This works great, and costs about 25 cents a gallon to make.
