Tissue in washing

Teso's have a promotion on at the moment,on the end of the ailses for loads of things you never knew you needed, all for £1, £2 or £3 pounds.

For £1 you can get a pack of 6 mini sticky roller things, each with 15 'sticky sheets'on I bought a pack as they seem like good value. Worked well on DH's black trousers!

My poor new black coat is now covered in white tissue. Can anyone please tell me how to rescue it? Is it just a matter os re-washing or???
Thanks in advance

Depends whether it is the tissue or the coat you want to rescue. If it's the tissue you want to reconstitute then you're out of luck. <ducks>

<grabs coat> <- sorry, bad choice of phrase.

(But don't do anything until it is completely dry. Many times it turns out to be a lot less worse than it at first looks once it has dried.)

Dry it, brush off the excess then then if needed rewash or you could end up rewashing it loads of times

you can try re- washing it. if it still got tissue on it then its prob best to use the old sellotape routine. or a clothes brush. or both. it will come off eventually - using one or the other methods.

i would say dry first ive done this a few times there is always 1 tissue that hides in the corner pocket grrr, i use sellotape wrapped round my hand and brush it down, after getting the worst off bung back in wash sometimes i have had to repeat process twice

and for future reference.. put the coat in the washer.. trying to cleananything with a tissue other than your bottom or your nose is usually a bad idea!!!

I have a nylon bristles hair brush I use in such cases...

Maybe you could try using a soft brush attachment if you have one, on the hose of the hoover?

My usual course of action is to use a fair few choice words, cursing everyone for abandoning said tissue, then discover evidence that it came from one of my pockets.....Swear blind I will check all pockets on every wash. Promptly forget until white tissue fluff happens again.....:D.

Nothing for it but attacking the coat with sellotape or a brush I'm afraid.

Wonder if the 'rubber glove' trick would work . When the coat's dry, put the glove on your hand and then sweep briskly over the tissue creating some static. Hopefully the tissue should stick to the glove.

Good Luck!
