help how do i get rid of mud stains

sofababe

My son has a new Bench tshirt for Xmas and has managed to sit on a dirty wall. Despite washing it, there is still a stain on the back, at the bottom. Bleach isn't really an option as the shirt has a pattern on the top half (unless I just dangle the dirty bit in?) and I think that bleach will harm the fabric. Its a normal cotton fabric. Any ideas what would work? I'll bleach if really necessary.

What about pouring some liquid washing powder on the stain itself and putting it through a wash?This often works for me for stubborn stains.

I use a Vanish stick (not the liquid). I wet the stain with cold water - rub the stick all over the stain, then massage in gently with a finger tip and leave overnight. Wash as usual. Sometimes I need to do it twice, but it usually works.
Vanish sticks are not too expensive and they last ages.

1. Shout.

2. If that doesn't work, then I think there's a 'washing' bleach you can get - put some directly onto the stain for tough areas. It's year since I used it, as Shout works every time for me, I find.

Try making up a paste with Napisan and leave it for half hour, then put thru a normal wash - remember NOT to tumble dry as it 'seals' the stain.

No advert tells the truth! If they did, we'd never buy their products.

Exactly that. It's not a good sales pitch to say
'it doesn't get stains out but buy it anyway'
If they claim it's all singing all dancing we'll try it at least once probably.

Hiya,

Have a wander over to the Old Style board.

They won't be able to help you with the adverts but mud and grass stains they can help with.

In fact I can move this post across there for you if you wish?
