    Have you washed them yet? Hot water tends to 'set' stains so making it harder for them to be removed. What is the material? If nylon then bleach tends to make nylon yellow so hope that's not happend.

    I have some 'Astonish' stain remover powder (from Home Bargains) and I think it's very good. You could make a paste with it and put it over the stains then leave overnight. Wash in usual way and hopefully the stains will be gone.

    (Other than than all I can recommend for future is a bib:rolleyes: )

    Thanx that what my pal said.!
    yes i washed in cold water but i think the curry will go eventually but Irn Bru is a close guarded recipe so finding a stain remover is going to be a huge problem
