Bolognese sauce out of white t shirt ?

Hi folks,

Hopefully someone can help. While having some pasta the other night I managed to drop a little right in the middle of a white cotton t shirt. I promptly washed it but there is still an orange stain left afterwards.

Anyone have any suggestions (apart from wearing a bib next time :rotfl:) on how to get it out ?

Thanks.

    A small bowl with some warm water and a few drops of bleach should sort that out. Just put the bit that is stained into the water and leave until it has gone. Then put through the wash again.
    There are stain removers you can buy but as its white and cotton then weak bleach solution should do the trick - just make sure the bleach solution doesnt come into contact with any printing etc on the T-shirt.

  • Wash it and leave it to dry in the sun (if you can find it) works everytime I promise ;)
  • Thanks , I tried the bleach route at the weekend (since there was no chance of sun) and it seems to have done the trick.

    Thanks again, much appreciated.
