V.D.
I'll buy my toddlers cloths from yard sales and soak them over night with a mixture made up of 1 cup powder dishwasher soap and 1 cup Clorox 2 put in a large bucket diluted with water up to the top. Soak over night and pour cloths and the whole bucket of solution in the washer and wash as you would normally do. remember to add you regular laundry soap with it. This soak has been able to get out stained cloths that I have bought so I don't see why it wouldn't work on your pants.
