Thank you, Judi !! I was on Amazon looking for collar cleansing stuff and decided to do a search on TH-cam. And found this video ... Really appreciated it !
You're welcome Lei! I'm glad this video helped you...AND saved you some money!! Thanks for watching and sharing :)
I thought for sure that after my shirts had been through the dryer so many times with the stain still present that the stain would be set forever, but this trick got it out! Thanks Judi!
Thank you so much! I did this to all my dress shirts today and the collars were spotless.
Awesome, Jonathan! Thank you for watching and sharing the experience! I'm so glad that it worked well for you :)
Thank you Judi, I am going to try this, I love the way you made your video easy to understand and watch.
Yes, I have used that method! I am really particular about my white shirts! I also found that if I wash my neck again immediately before putting on a new shirt and changing it after a few hours, and/ or re-washing the neck, this procedure will also help! You wake up and shower - but by the time you finish breakfast that is enough time for some accumulation! So, wash neck IMME DIATELY BEEFORE DONNING THE WHITE SHIRT! 😊👍
Thank you for watching and sharing that bit of information! That will surely help others out there!!
@@JudiintheKitchen Welcome! Yeah, I find it easier to keep it off than to try to get it off later! White shirts will even come back from the cleaners with some of it still there! Oh yes, you have to watch the cuffs of the long sleeve shirts, as well! Use the same procure! Helps you feel professional! lol! Look good and feel good! Ha! 😊😊😊🏃
@@spiritofecstasy8525 You bet! Thanks for sharing. I hadn't thought about the cuffs. Great tip!
Had two shirts that had been dry cleaned and pressed but both still had ring around the collar very bad. I saw your video and gave it a try...worked like a charm! Thanks
+Charles Mace Wonderful! Glad it worked for you! Thanks for commenting. Judi
From Japan, I first learned ring means dirt. In first grade English achievement test by Japanese Government has the expression "I often see a ring around your collar on your clean shirts." What does the word,ring, means? I looked up the meaning, ring, using the famous English-Japanese dictionary, but there was not the expected mean,which is dirt or stain.... I am lucky to see and hit your you-tube. Thank you for your video.
Thank you for watching and sharing, AND letting us know where you are in the world! It's always fun to hear from people so far away from me. I'm glad this video was helpful to you :)
If you take a bath in a bathtub, you might leave a bathtub ring.
I'm not sure it really means "dirt" but instead the fact that the dirt or stain is in a ring shape.
This is AMAZING! I was going to give up (after trying all sorts of products) on numerous shirts. It worked so well, I can't quite believe it. Thank you so much.
Thank you Sally for commenting and sharing your experience! I'm SO glad it worked for you!! Shirts are too expensive to throw out for that reason :)
FINALLY!!!! A Channel that doesn't advertise brand. Yeah, 've used the dish detergent before as well, and I was surprised to find that it actually works better than most products sold for this purpose.
The question is: Does the detergent harm the fabric?
Well that's a great question. I'm assuming it doesn't harm the fabric, but...if you're using it on something really delicate (ie silk), I would think the scrubbing action would harm the fabric probably more than the dish detergent. If in doubt, try using just a small amount of detergent and scrub gently. With all that being said, I haven't had any issues using this procedure on my husband's shirts, usually made of cotton or a polyester/cotton blend. I hope this helps! (Thanks for the comment about no brands being emphasized. I DO try to avoid promoting any specific brands) :)
Thank u, this worked perfectly and literally rescued my shirts out of the bin today! I’m so relieved
Yeaaaaaahhhh Anthony! I'm so glad this helped and I appreciate your commenting on it! Have a great day :)
Thanks so much for this wonderful (& easy) tip, Judi! I have been trying for months to get rid of this set-in ring around the collar on my husband’s favorite work shirt. It worked like a charm! Can’t wait to see your other videos!
Awesome Cynthia! I'm so glad it worked for you!! Thanks so much for commenting and letting others know that this trick really DOES work!
Thank you so much for taking the time to help those that are Afflicted with Ring Around the Collar
I'm glad the video was helpful to you! Thanks for watching and commenting :)
I tried this with Dawn Dish Detergent and it totally worked. Thank you so much for posting this video.
Awesome! Yep...Dawn is a great one for grease/oil removal. Glad it worked for you and THANKS for sharing! :)
Actually made the ring go away on all my uniform shirts thank you so much.
Wonderful!!! I'm so glad it helped!
Mine were starting to get really bad and this trick made my shirts look like new. Thanks!
You're welcome, Hugh! Glad it helped :)
Thanks Judi worked on my yellow stain collar WHITE (factory color)track jacket by Adidas. Fixed it as new White 100% clean. Thanks. No need for bleach.
Awesome!! I'm glad it worked for you :) Thanks for commenting!
I couldn't sleep last night. I was ironing my clothes I saw that I have a white polo shirt far back hanging up. I saw the dirt around my collar. Follow your steps. Remind you my collar shirt is dirty I mean dirty dirty... I did add the dollar store degreaser product with dishwasher liquor in small container.. I scrub several time... At first I look at shirt and I see the stain is still there right however when I place my shirt inside the washer machine. I see a clean shirt like it's brand new again. I almost threw my shirt away. Thanks for video, it's a nice polo shirt...
I'm so glad that this method worked SO well for you! Thanks for watching and sharing your story! Best wishes to you and yours :)
Thanks Judi! I will have to try this. Even the local dry cleaners haven't been able to get these faint brown collar stains off my shirt. My only concern is long term damage to the fabric especially a softer poly-blend NON-IRON shirt. I shocked that shirt makers haven't come up with a stain resistant collar.
If your shirts have been dry cleaned, I'm not sure this will do the trick. But it's certainly worth a try! I hope so. Thanks for watching and sharing :)
Thanks, this is helpful. I get similar staining on my sleeve cuffs and will use this technique there, a well.
Sounds like a great plan to me, David! I hope it works well for you. Thanks for watching and sharing :) Best wishes to you and yours :)
Judi Thanks, I watched your videos, ring around the collar and the spot removal. It really worked... thanks Danny
Hi Danny! I'm so glad these tips worked for you!! Thanks for watching and commenting :)
It worked!! Watched your video yesterday and tried it on my husband's grimy, yellow ring around the collar today. Gone!
Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! I'm glad it worked for you!! Thanks for watching, commenting, and sharing your story! :)
And to PREVENT ring around the collar, lightly dust collar with baby powder before wearing.
Thanks for watching and sharing the tip!!
im not sure what you classify as ring around the collar but that shirt you got looks brand new by comparison to what I call ring around the collar.
Hi Rick! It was not a new shirt, but did have neck stains on it. However, this should work on a heavily stained shirt too. It may take a couple treatments. For REALLY tough stains, another viewer suggested automotive mechanics hand cleaner instead of dish washing detergent. For him, that was the best cleaner for his shirts. You may want to give that a try! Thanks for watching and sharing :)
THANK YOU! I use essential oils on the back of my neck, so I get a very bad ring around my collar. I am going to give this a try for sure. Wish me luck.
Hi Sandy! Thanks for watching and sharing! Essential oils are REALLY strong, so I'm curious to know how this works on your shirts. Please do let me know! :)
@@JudiintheKitchen So far, it hasn't removed the whole stain (which has been building for some time), but I am not giving up yet. I don't think I put in as much elbow grease as I saw you doing. I feel like I need to put in more effort.
@@sandyg3772 Hopefully a second round will do the trick. Thanks for sharing! :)
Thanks! I used my husband's toothbrush and scrubbed the dickens out of it. Then I put the toothbrush back and he never knew. It was his shirt after all! HEHEHE
+Blanca W OH.... Do YOU have me laughing! I'll never tell. :)
Judi in the Kitchen jokes on her the husband switched toothbrushes haha 😂
Blanca W m
Are your husband's teeth sparkly white now as well? :D
that's funny
Thank you so much. This is wonderful! I added a little hydrogen peroxide too in a little bowl and it seemed to help brighten after I was done scrubbing the Dawn in. Looking forward to more of your tricks and tips! :)
Awesome Portia! I'm so glad it helped. Thanks also for the peroxide tip! That's a GREAT one. :)
thank you Judy for the video!
You're welcome, Tommy! I hope it works well for you. Thanks for watching and commenting :)
Thanks Judi. That was brilliant.
You're welcome Peter! I hope it works well for you :)
This worked great 👍. Some tips to others: it's actually easier than the vid. If you don't have workman type neck stained shirts I recommend starting with less detergent esp if a nice shirt. let the water you dipped toothbrush into do most of the surfacant work. So less soap, less scrubbing action, more water dips.
Also I only used a sponge after as shirt was already clean except for this issue. Only prob there is left behind the -dare I call the brand out- Palmolive slight smell. So a wash prob would remove that or maybe after drying so she on target: washing better to fully remove soap but I did like 10 iron req. shirts so no way I'm rewashing all lol
Bottom line start with less of everything imo as you can always do more. Ps longer u let it set after scrub prob more it penertates. Just be careful on really nice shirts. Thx for his great and true vid!
Hi Bob! Thanks for watching and sharing your experience and tips! I truly appreciate your efforts and I'm glad this worked for you. Yes...in this case, "less is more". Thanks again for sharing...that will help others! :)
Judi on behalf of those Firemen that have to wear our dress whites daily and fork out money to the local cleaners a big tip of the fire helmet and thank you!
Oh, I'm TRULY honored!! I'm so glad this little tip helped you out! Best wishes to you and your comrades in all that you do! Thanks for commenting :)

So, I enjoy watching your country on TV whenever a program comes up...looks like a great place to be! And yes...the USA can be a scary place to be, but it's not all bad. Despite what you hear, there are a lot of good people here...thank God! You too take care, and God bless :)

Can't wait to try this. Drive a bus for work. Gets a little sweaty in the summer, and the required uniform gets a little nasty after a while.
Well I hope this works well for you! Thanks for watching and sharing! Best wishes to you and yours :)
Thanks Judi you’re awesome!
You're welcome, Doug. I hope it works well for you. Thanks for watching and commenting :)
I use this method to remove the dirt streak in my undewear. Pro tip, just use your normal toothbrush and rinse it under hot water after. Who keeps an old toothbrush around?
Thanks for watching and sharing!
I've also used this method to remove bacon strips out of my underwear. Can vouch for the fact to not brush your teeth with the same toothbrush afterwards.
I'm gonna give this a try Judi. I'll let you know how it goes.
+MrKingsniper22 Please do!
Thanks from the UK
Thanks for watching, commenting, AND letting me know where you are in the world! It's always a joy to hear from others around the globe. I'm glad this video helps :)

Love it..and going right now to try it!
Awesome! I hope it works well for you. Thanks for watching and sharing :)
This is great! Thank you!
GLAD it helps! Thanks for commenting :)
Thank you thank you thank you!! Gonna do this right now. I'm assuming the dish detergent has to be a strong grease cutting detergent?
A strong degreasing dish detergent is helpful, but I think most any good dish detergent should do the job. Give it a try with that you already have and let me know how it works for you. :)
thanks mom! :) happy mothers day.
Glad to help! (as a mother always would ;)
Looks like a REACH brand toothbrush. REACH must be the best toothbrush ever.
It might have been...I can't say for sure at this point. However, it did the trick with the shirt! Thanks for watching and commenting :)
@@JudiintheKitchen Just having fun with you. I'll make a guess that you used Dawn soap. ;-) I'll test it out on 30 year old collars.
@@ahbalone LOL! I kind'a thought that :) Anyway...it WAS a good toothbrush at some point! You're right, some formula of Dawn was used. It's well known for grease-cutting action, so it's a good choice for this application. Best wishes in your endeavors!!
My neck since I was a kid and had chickenpox around the neck has always left rings on the collar in hot sweaty conditions as the sweat picks up dust in the air along with everything else and puts hard to clean stains on the collar. What I've found to be THE only thing that works ( I've tried Dawn w/toothbrush, white vinegar, baking soda etc) are those automotive mechanics hand cleaners.
WOW! Thanks for watching and sharing you story, Sam! It may help others out there :) Take care :)
@@JudiintheKitchen your most welcome. for light stains your post is on the money.
@@moss8448 Thanks again for sharing, Sam!! Take care :)

I had to do my brother's work shirt and all I had was 1.00 dish liquid and it worked great. I have tried anything to get the ring a round out for wks. It was driving me nuts.
I'm glad this method worked well for you! Thanks for watching and sharing :)
It's also wonderful that your helping your brother out ..
good tip, thank you
You're welcome Greg! I hope it works well for you. Thanks for watching and commenting :)
Dawn is the soap !!!
Yep...it's known for great degreasing power!
Thanks for your idea
You're very welcome! I hope it works well for you :)
Can you use this technique if the stain has been set in for months or years?
Hi Brian! That's an excellent question! Unfortunately, I can't say for sure. It might not work, but who knows? It might work, and it certainly shouldn't hurt to try and find out. I hope it works for you!! Thanks for watching and asking :)
Also wipe around the neck and wrists with 70% rubbing alcohol to clean off dirt and oil prier to putting on a dress shirt. Keep alcohol wipes on hand for long work days. And wipe every couple hours.
Excellent tips! Thank you for watching and sharing your wisdom!!
Thanks, Judy!
You're welcome Joe! I hope it helps. LOVE your picture :)
It definitely made it better. Going to do another round to see if I can get it perfect. Thanks for the pic love! Coffee cheers! *clink*
Is the ring on the collar worse depending on the colour of your skin?
Hi! That's an excellent question and one I can only give my opinion on. I can only speculate that dirt is dirt and body grime is the same no matter what tone the skin is. Skin cells should easily come off in the wash, so as far as I'm concerned, it shouldn't matter what color the skin is as opposed to the depth of ring around the collar. Give it a try and test it for yourself! Hopefully it will work for you. Thanks for watching and asking. Best wishes to you :)
Can I leave the dish detergent on the shirts overnight before the wash?
That's an excellent question! I have not done that, so I can't speak from first-hand experience. I can assume that it's OK AS LONG AS the dish detergent is clear and has no color additives in it. I don't know if the color agent would stain the shirt if left on so long, especially if it were to dry overnight. It's better to be safe on this one rather than lose a shirt. A clear detergent wouldn't pose that risk, even if it did dry. Another way might be to follow the procedure by scrubbing the shirt with the detergent and toothbrush, then adding the shirt to a tub of water to soak overnight. With the added water to a small amount of detergent, there would be far less risk of staining the shirt with any coloring agent in the soap. I hope this helps! Thanks for watching and asking :)
I'm curious if this works on t-shirts. I have a light blue shirt I wanna try this on because the entire neck line went yellow just recently. I think its caused by my lotions and body sprays but its so annoying. I had to throw away a lot of white t-shirts due to this problem. I have pretty much stopped buying white shirts.
I certainly hope it works for you! If the shirts have been laundered and machine dried, the stain may have been "set" in the fabric if it was actually from lotions (from any oils in them). That's a "maybe." It's worth a try, though. I hope it works. Thanks for watching and sharing :)
Thanks Judi! I travel a lot and am collecting great clothes cleaning tips. Quick question, do I need to cover up my shirt brand labels with tape before I clean too?
Hi Danny! No, you don't need to cover your shirt labels. I did that because I'm not supposed to "promote" any specific brands on TH-cam. I covered the label so viewers would not see the brand :) So, no harm done in also cleaning the label! Thanks for asking.
Thank u !!
Judi, Thank you.
You're welcome! I hope it helps. Thanks for commenting :)
Thank you!
You're very welcome! Glad to help :)
Easy peasy.
You bet!! Sometimes the simplest things are best. Thanks for watching and commenting :)
After following your steps to scrubbing collar with dish detergent should I wait before I wash shirt in the laundry or just wash?
Hi Daniel! Go ahead and wash it after scrubbing the shirt. I truly hope it works well for you. Thanks for watching and asking! Take care :)
Does the stain appear gone before you put it in the washing machine or not until after? I ask because I’m scrubbing and not seeing anything come off at this point. Thank you!
At 3:16 I mentioned what you're talking about...if you don't see anything coming off with scrubbing, let it sit for a little while before washing the shirt with your regular laundry detergent. If that doesn't take it out, you might want to try a different dish detergent...one that has a stronger action for grease-cutting. Dawn Platinum Power Clean might be one to try...it's advertised for its grease-cutting ability (I'm not affiliated with that company whatsoever). I hope this helps!
Do you have any idea how to remove stains from a white polo?
If you're referring to body oil stains on the collar of a white polo shirt...I would try the same tactic as in the video. Just be careful about scrubbing on a knit fabric. Use a very soft, flexible brush if you can find one that is softer than a tooth brush. If using a tooth brush, just scrub gently so you don't damage the fabric.
Does the toothbrush damage the material??
That's a great question. If you're washing a delicate fabric, then there is a possibility if you're not careful and scrub lightly with a soft brush. I was scrubbing my husband's dress shirts, which are usually a polyester/cotton blend (usually 80/20%). That fabric can take a scrubbing with pretty much any toothbrush. But even with that I wouldn't scrub with all your might. Gentle scrubbing will do the job. I hope this helps! Thanks for watching and asking :)
@@JudiintheKitchen Thank u 🙏

Thanks
You're welcome! I hope this method works well for you. Thanks for watching and commenting :)
mine is yellowish comes from sweat stains which be nice to have more than two white uniform shirts heck grey be even better.
Give it a try!
oh I am
Will this work on any colour shirt? O have a red shirt and the collar fold has lost its colour
You could try it, but just rub gently and use the dish detergent sparingly (with cold water, not hot). This is because I don't know how "colorfast" the shirt is and don't want you to take out a lot of the color on the collar. Thanks for watching :)
Hii....can i use vim dish liquid solution for my black collar....or rather say dark grey collar...???pls answer
Hi! I'm guessing that "vim" dish liquid is a specific brand? As far as I'm concerned, any brand will do. Just use a little with some water and scrub gently on the dark shirt with an old toothbrush or something like that. It should take it out. Then launder it as usual. Thanks for watching!
Would a detergent for delicates like Woolite work as well?
I have not tried that, so I can't say for sure. It's certainly worth a try, especially if you have some on-hand. I hope it works for you! Thanks for watching and asking. Best wishes to you :)
If you also put some hydrogen peroxide this helps out alot... and if you have some arm & hammer baking soda
GREAT tip! Thanks for commenting :)
Unfortunately it doesn't work for me
I'm so sorry this didn't work for you. At least it was worth a try. Thanks for watching and sharing :)
Does it work on the Dress Blues shirt?
As far as I know, yes, it should. However to be on the safe side, try it first on a small unseen area to be sure the fabric is colorfast.
Did this work for you? My uniforms shirt has a big line around the collar from sweating in it?
I Agree...
Thanks for watching and commenting, Nancy!
Anybody tried it? Does it work????
Tried it on my face still doesn't sparkle
I just hate my shirts all have rings
I was considering taking all my shirts to a seamstress and getting the collars replaced. Some of them are expensive. I'll try this first.
@@PetertheGreatest1 Hi Peter! I certainly hope this works well for you. I would try it before taking them to a seamstress. This will save you some money, for sure. Use a detergent that you know will remove grease. Dawn has a number of formulas out that are excellent at cutting grease. I would try one of them. Thanks for watching and sharing :)
One ring to rule them all!

Good Grief! With such vigorous toothbrush scrubbing, after a couple of washings the collar will be threadbare or worn through.
Not really, Lynnlard5531. I use soft toothbrushes so it's not digging into it as much as you might think. It's not like a regular scrub brush on cloth. THAT would break down the fabric quickly. Thanks for watching :)
