Right up Mamas alley...Hot water, and I don't mean the dubbed down hot in most washers now days, get that temp up to around 135 degrees f...Tide with bleach powder and a beautiful long soak..you may need to repeat this, but it should work.if you can get that temp even higher all the better.

Is the bleach powder in the Tide or a separate product?

mabel, that looks like my old Squeezo, except mine is all metal and has several different sized sieve/cones. Not even the smallest one gets out all the seeds, a few small ones always slip through, but not very many. It's not as "reliable" at removing all the seeds as a fine sieve is, but not as much work either. Well, except cleaning the darned machine afterward. gourmet, if you push the berries through a sieve or a chinois, or a china cap or a food mill or any of the above, you'll get the berry pulp as well as the juice. As the berries get mashed up, the seeds will remain but the pulp will go through the openings of the sieve/utensil. Annie

Do you know how to remove stains from SS sink?

Excellent point Cat mom. Don't allow any carbon steel items to sit in a stainless sink either. If you have anything with even a little rust on it (including cast iron pans), allowing the carbon steel to contact stainless will contaminate the stainless with carbon and you will get rust. They make stainless steel wool which is excellent (I use it in my stainless pans if they need scrubbing). Also....avoid chlorine bleach on stainless. Stainless is attacked by chlorine and the result is pitting of the stainless.

Rochester-Tide with bleach powder, the bleach is in the Tide container already. That's what the box will say Tide with Bleach. Not separate.

I just did it. A cold prewash with oxyclean followed by a hot 140F wash with 1/2 tablespoon Miele Ultra White. Pillow covers cam out looking white and fresh.

I'm a little late to the group... but hot water, and a quality liquid detergent.. will also remove sweat. Reason being... Liquid Detergents tend to remove oilly-based stains better.

German Persil Gel or Tide Liquid would probably work great for this ;)
