Sambuca stains - how can you remove them?

I wore my best suit to my office Christmas party (recipe for disaster right there :D), and only realised the other week that it is absolutely covered in drink stains, mainly Sambuca I think.

I've had this problem before, and completely ruined a suit trying to get Sambuca stains out by dry cleaning it. If anything the marks were more pronounced afterwards.

Does anyone know of any ways to remove them?

Thanks in advance.

    Have you tried soaking it in "Oxiclean" - the stuff that fizzes up when you add warm water?

    Wooligan 2 squares for smoky - 3 squares for HTA

  • I haven't heard of it before - can you use it on any material?

    I think Vanish uses the oxygen system but most supermarkets have their own versions of it.

    As long as the material is washable it should be all right but check on the bottle or tub to make sure.
