    Ok then, while I'm at it, what about my nice pink shirt? Surely I can't use bleach on that? :confused:

    MR B E, it looks like it could have grease in it? Which would mean it isn't beer - could it be from an oil based sauce (coz I get that a lot)?

    If the bleaching doesn't work I usually find (only for a precious garment) stain devil followed by a hot wash sometimes works. No comment on my favourite - new - purple t shirt!

    Good luck and please report back....

    This is for the rugby shirt - I can't see the pink shirt!

    Hmmm - Mr B E, methinks perhaps you need a giant sized bib! :rotfl: *frantically heads her wheelchair in the direction of the door*
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    Fair comment, I suppose. :o But it's not a bib I need, it's a qualified washerwoman. :D

    I'm sure it's beer on the pink one. I think it was the first time I wore it too, and I've only worn it about 3 times. :mad:

    Ace bleach for clothes is very good it won't take the white cotton to a different shade as it's made for clothing. Probably worth the investment for such a special shirt!

    It could be, I suppose. It actually looks worse in the photo, but it must be quite bad if I'm noticing it enough to be concerned. The odd battle scar on a rugby shirt is quite acceptable, after all. ;)

    Is that readily available in, for example, ASDA? :confused:

    Yes it is. It comes in a pale blue bottle I think. It should be around the washing powders, might even be top shelf stuff!!

  • what about that vanish stuff that's always advertised on tv lately would that be any good?
