    Thats why my daughter has 2 winter uniforms (only 5 blouses though) and 5 summer dresses :rotfl: I swear if it can stain she'll manage it. Much worse now though since she started staying school dinners (free school meals for us) as she loves gravy and pizza and often gets them down her. Best yet has be to gravy down her COAT and another time she got it on her baseball cap :confused:


    Ha ha. We could have the same child!! It drives me insane, I have a pair of leggings (she will only wear leggings and certain t-shirts) and she has got some sort of grease on them, I haven't a clue what it is but it is not coming out!!

    Have you tried stardrops neat? Or even washing up liquid? Only a drop though otherwise you'll have to wash your floors...I know from experience :o

    Good thread!!

    On a slightly different note does anyone have a way to get deoderant stains out of shirts? I read the vodka does the trick somewhere but it doesn't, and I wasted perfectly good Vodka trying! :)

    Cheers,

    For getting stains out of white clothes, put a drop of lemon juice on the stain and hang out on the line - or if you don't have a washing line, place on a window sill in a room that gets lots of sun. Lemons and sunlight are both natural bleaches.

    Foolishboy, vinegar is supposed to remove deoderant stains - use white distilled vinegar if its light coloured shirts.
