at his cleaners. >> if there's a product that removed it completely, beautiful white like a white shirt out of a package, that would be a miracle. >> we wanted to find out if this was the miracle. we asked kenya and archie to give it a try and kim agreed to try a homemade remedy we found on the internet. we begin with tanya. >> if it does work, it will save me a lot of white shirts i won't have to buy again. >> she rubbed in the solution using a toothbrush. >> this one is my husband's. just kidding. archie tried the deo-go product on three shirts. he gave it an 80% chance to get the stain out of this white blouse. he thinks the stain on this men's shirt is unlikely to come out. he fears this shirt has reached the end of its life. >> it is like aging. aging is -- i age, you age, a shirt ages. >> back at kim's house we began mixing our homemade solution. a quarter cup of ammonia with four cups of water.

she hopes this works better than what she normally does. >> i normally just rub my shirt together and it's still there. >> it's almost time to see the results. kim gives her top a good scrub. archie puts his three shirts into the wash after applying deo-go. tanya rushes things along by putting a blow dryer to her garmant. >> i think it looks like it worked. i don't see it anymore. >> archie said deo-go worked as well as can be expected. the cleaner removed some of the stain on the blouse, but not all. the yellow stain on the men's shirt turned into what archie called a dingy white. the shirt he predicted needed to be tossed out didn't show any improvement at all. >> overall opinion, it is about like what we use already. i didn't see any increased improvement to say the product is something exceptional. >> what about our homemade remedy?

>> pretty much as soon as i get the solution on there, it's making a huge difference and as soon as i rub it over just lightly, it's pretty much making the stain disappear. >> deo-go sells for about ten bucks. both women testers said they would be reluctant to use any product that takes 20 minutes to dry. deo-go said the 20-minute wait time is better than having to throw a blouse or shirt away. i'm michael finney. 7 on your side. >> coming up, one of the most anticipated hollywood movies. >> sometimes you need to bend the rules a little to keep your country safe. >> clint eastwood's "j. edgar" and "on the isle" is up next. edd
