stain removal????

susi

Sorry if this is in the wrong place (feel free to move it!!)
I have washed a pair of pale pink trousers with a yellow serviette in the pocket, hence my trousers are badly stained. I have tried shout and it hasnt touched it, anyone any tips on how to get rid of the stain or are my trousers destined for the bin!!!!:mad:

I would try soaking it in a solution of Vanish Oxy-action or similar overnight to loosen the stain, then washing it with a big white cotton towel or some white cotton tea towels and hoping they absorb the yellow dye. Another thing you could try is those colour capture sheets that are supposed to let you do a mixed wash. On of those might absord the yellow dye out even without you pre-treating the trousers. Whatever you do don't tumble dry it because that will set the stain so that nothing will get it out.
