I have to try something that I wish wasn`t necessary, my newest Tokaido gi was on the floor at the base of our washing machine, waiting it`s turn to be washed, when the bloomin machine sprung a serious leak & got crap all over my $250.00 gi. I almost want to cry, as it left stains kind of like sweat stains all over my nice new gi. Looks even kind of like rust stains. Anyway the research that I have been doing says to try a mix of 50-50 hydrogen peroxide & water, put this on the stains for 30 minutes & wash in cool water. It is a good thing that we always hang my gi to dry, as the heat from a dryer would just engrain the stain making it that much harder to remove. The article also says that if the peroxide mix doesn`t do good enough, to try again with a stronger mix. Apparently peroxide has whitening agents in it that works well at removing sweat stains, so I`m hoping that this works. Will keep you posted on how it goes! Osu Paul B

That's why I don't buy expensive gi's. Not because I'm cheap or anything like that. Thanks, Tom (PS - be careful with the BOTOX. Last time I tried it I dropped the needle into my leg & I couldn't kick for 2 weeks. It could also have been much worse)
