I don't think a Magic Eraser has enough grit to break down the fibers effectively. However, you could use sandpaper on a sanding block in the same way he explained using a pumice stone.

My shirt has a graphic on that is heat transfer. Obviously I wouldn't want to use the pumice on the parts that have the graphic but do you think this method will be fine for this type shirt is says 100% soft spun cotton it"s a little stiff to me. I don't want it to shrink too much. Thanks for the info.

Great video!! Thank you! So glad I found this. Just yanked my shirt out of the salt-pot after watching the first few minutes lol. I think maybe the reason the recipe is everywhere and has such mixed reviews is to do with the shirt fabric/makeup. I’ve seen a few sources recommend the salt method for cotton/polyester mixes, but most videos/articles don’t mention the type of fabric at all. I reckon that’s why some folk have had it work a treat and others are let down. ((I know this video is about five years old, but who cares, I found it and it was super helpful!!!!)) Thanks Caleb!

Run a rinse cycle but add a cup of vinegar to the water at the beginning. Alternatively you can put vinegar in the compartment for fabric softener and run a quick wash. Vinegar removes odors. Professional laundrys use vinegar in this way. It's called souring the wash, but it doesn't sour it removes residual odor. You can also try adding 1/4 cup baking soda just before the end of the wash cycle. Use the orange box arm & hammer, or generic equivalent.

He doesn't say to use 1 cup of water and 1 cup of fabric softener, he says it's a 1:1 ratio -- 1 cup of fabric softener for each cup of water. So if you need to add more water, just be sure to add an equal amount of fabric softener.

You can actually prevent bleeding of colours by putting either salt or vinegar in your washing machine. So I'd guess no - the vinegar is actually a fixative.
