Flypeople I need your help. Whilst eating lunch I got a tomato stain on my top. I put it in the wash straight away but it's still not come out :eek: I've got white vinegar & soda crystals in my cupboard, will either of these help?

Thanks for the HHC, JulieJim - radio went up loud and I have now done the whole bathroom - from skirtings to ceilings - the dog hair was everywhere. I had to vacuum everywhere first, then some still had to dry out and then I had to vacuum again before I could clean, and then I still had hairs????
I scrubbed out the bath, but it seems to be getting these soap scum run marks in it from where we shower that I just can't seem to shift with anything, so while I did the rest of the room, I remembered Valli's cooker hood and filled the bottom of the bath with water and put soda crystals into it - they came off really easily then with hardly any effort, so thanks for the reminder Valli (even if you didn't actually mean the bath... )

Am off to finish my bedroom now, will post my list after - anyone want to join me for a 40min challenge instead of a half hour one? - I'm going to carry on till 5pm???

Emily you might have to resort to Staindevil

Valli

I'll tell you something Flower I have come over all evangelical about Soda Crystals after that - all I had to do was WIPE the cooker hood - it was foul - after its soak in the bath - I even took the crystals into school to clean the LEGO that we have for wet play - loads of it - 3 washing up bowls full of lego and now clean...the grease/dirt just lifted off with very little effort.

Emily - in future you could try cold water soak first - it won't do any harm and will not 'fix' the stain...try a peg out in the sun.
