Removing the immovable stain

Pharmer

I bought a very nice jumper that would ordinarily cost over £100 for 99p. Unfortunately, this cost was due to a small brown stain on the front on a white section, which they were unable to remove with dry cleaning or scrubbing. I've fired some oxo powder from asda into the stain and it's been futile.

Can anyone help me turn this stain back into a jewel?

Dye the jumper?

chicken or beef oxo?

add decoration to cover? Even if its in an odd place, some form of embroidered or added fabric could have a decorative 'tail' that could come round or over and cover the stain.

I would be tempted to try a little bleach.

i think i read on here ages ago, squeeze on some lemon juice onto the stain and put in the sun (bit difficult at the moment i know). it should bleach it back to white. never tried it though!! :P

Dont use bleach on wool - there is no return! Try a little oil of Eucalptus on it which may help- great stain remover. ( available chemists)

Put a pad of kitchen towel or a clean white cloth underneath, and with another cloth dab (don't rub) neat Dettol on the stain. If you persevere, the stain should drop through onto the cloth underneath... you'll obviously need to wash it afterwards to get rid of the Dettol smell

or you could try a lukewarm soak in something like Biotex or Napisan. then wash as normal. if that doesnt work, then its the cover the stain up with a motif or some embroidery avenue!
