    Oxy managed to remove vaseline from cotton towels so surely it would work?
    CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J

    thanks, will try the laundry bar idea now.

    **mental note to self** Never ask DH to do a quick 2 minute job to help you out as this always results in a 30 min clearing up job!!

    Soda crystals are a de-greaser ... soak the items in a solution of soda crystals overnight then wash as normal :):)

    Sudocreme should be used thinly and sparingly ... a little goes a loooooooog way :laugh: :o

    It may well do :confused: Personally, I don't buy it because ounce for ounce, soda crystals are cheaper and just as versatile :D

    Does anyone have any ideas how i can get sudocrem of towels/ clothes please?

    thanks

    Stardrops. Good squirt in very hot water, with a handful of washing soda crystals. You can prime stains with neat stardrops first.
    Good luck

    Tut tut why oh why don't the older generation learn to tell the sudocrem story when the children are at their knees? I bet they haven't told you about the spreading the margarine on the stairs thing either.
