Be sure the white Crest doesn't have peroxide for whitening listed in the ingredients. The peroxide is a form of bleach. Good luck!

I have blue dawn beside the washer for frequent use. My nephew, a taxidermist, uses Dawn for removing oils and fats when he does his work. He swears by it

Blue Dawn is my go to for spots/stains. I use it as a prewash. If it's safe enough to use on animals from an oil spill, it's safe enough for me. Good luck!
