Tomato stain

mummyto3_2 · 10 February 2008 at 12:05AM

If when it comes out of the wash it still has some tomato staining hang it on the washing line facing the sun and by the time it dries the stain should be gone. Always worked for me on baby food stains and the white dress my daughter got tomato soup down on Thursday.

Thanks so much to you all

Sons t shirt is covered in tesco own washing up liquid, i gave it abit of a jiggle on the shirt.So hopefully in the morning i can give it a quick rinse in cold water... then if the sun is out... will hang it facing that way

Again thankyou so much
I wouldnt usually worry so much about a t shirt but its one he spent £15 on from his christmas money... ( next year i will buy him a bib )

Glad we could help

Oh, and buy him a bib? Just make him one out of an old towel or tea towel

I ate lasagne for lunch & have now got some tomato stains on my top :mad: I washed it but the stainisi still there. I've got white vinegar & soda crystals. Would either of these remove the stain? Thanks

Sunlight is great for removing tomato stains. If it was me with the stain I would put the top out on the line in a sunny spot to dry, it should come out with no trouble, if its still slightly there, then wash it again, and line dry in the sun again, that should get rid of it.

i dont think there is much that will get it out as tomato stains are the bain of mum's of small kids lives, but i believe sunshine will help??

Thanks for the suggestions. I soaked the top in soda crystals & cold water & have hung it out to dry

Years ago, en route to the USA, I spilt tomato juice on a cream skirt - the air hostess whipped out a can of 7-up and mopped me down with the contents - absolutely no stain left when it dried!
