Alex asked:
I put hartz flea control on my dog and she climbed onto the couch with me right after and now I have a huge stain on my favorite blanket. How can I get it out? The main active ingredient is phenothrin.

Hartz flea control is oily.
With that said, your best cleaner for oil is dish washing liquid.
Assuming the blanket is machine washable, rub dish washing liquid into the stain (full strength). It doesn’t matter what brand you use, as long as it’s a good name brand. Most people recommend Dawn, but I’ve found other brands work just as well…Ajax, Palmolive, etc.
Let the dish washing liquid sit for 20 minutes or so…then launder as usual.
Dish washing liquid is specifically formulated to break down grease. It will break down your stains and allow the washer to wash them away.
