Need suggestions

Posted: Dec 19, 2013

Okay, so this isn't earth-shattering, but I'm looking for a solution. My husband is in the retail business and he's always got a wad of keys in his shorts pocket (FL, hence the shorts as opposed to pants!). Anyway, the metal color or whatever it is from the keys leaves stains around the outside of the pocket area that I cannot seem to remove--the metal color like seeps through to the outside. I've tried all sorts of spot removers, leaving detergent to soak on the spot, etc. He is not wanting to hang them on his belt or whatever, because he's got a walkie-talkie, measuring tape and a few other things hanging, so his belt is kind of crowded. I try to buy only dark-colored shorts for him, but we buy discount outlet only for this to save money, so there aren't always a lot of color options. I never buy white, but do have to buy beige. It's not a big deal, because it's the hardware business and nobody looks perfectly Gentleman's Quarterly, but it still doesn't look nice and prevents him from wearing them out to other occasions. NO, this is not the biggest problem in my life, but it's annoying.;
