No matter how careful your kids are, they will get their clothes muddy. If you have any sort of dried mud stains on your clothing you can remove and revive it with a potato! Simply cut an uncooked potato in half crosswise. Rub the stained areas with the cut end and then soak your garment in a tub of cool water for about an hour. Then wash as usual. The stain should disappear because the chlorogenic acid in the spud will seep into the fabric and break up the soil.
