Beetroot stain on white sweatshirt

Morning,

I've found that I managed to miss my mouth with some beetroot - I didn't notice so I must have been walking around with a pink blob on my front all day :rolleyes:

Does anyone have any idea how to tackle this? I'm guessing not a great idea to simply chuck it in the washing machine and cross my fingers?

    Soak in a solution of Vanish of Oxy 10. I regularly miss my mouth and tomatoes dive at me, anyway. Just put the bit with the stain in the bowl.

  • :eek: Beetroot! That is nigh imposible to get out.
    You could try using cola - put some in a bowl and leave on the stain for about 20 mins then wash in a cool wash with biological washing powder it may help
    Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones that let in the light
