Getting stains out of clothes

nicki_2

Okay, I need some ideas along this line... my daughter has a brown stain on her yellow school sweatshirt (yes, the school decided that bright yellow is fine for putting nursery and reception children in :rolleyes::mad: ). I didn't notice it when I washed it but then OH ironed it before I noticed the stain. I've tried Oxiclean, stardrops, fairy soap, soaking, but I have no idea what the stain is so do you think I have exhausted all hope and set the stain? Or is there a glimmer of hope somewhere

Have you had a look here?

My favourite stain remover is to apply neat fairyliquid (or good quality washing up liquid) directly to the stain then wash as normal.This works for me!:D

I know that when I've left my washing on the line overnight and the frost has got to the clothes some stains have strangely dissapeared - so much so that I sometimes do it deliberately in the winter months. I don't know if popping the laundered item in the freezer might have the same effect? I'm sure it won't do any harm.

I always use old fashioned fairy green household soap,gran told me about this wonder product years ago and it has never failed on any stain! cheap too only about 1.20 for 2 big bars.
