    Have you tried a cold water soak?

    Thanks!

    I've not done anything yet.

    It's a white shirt and I thought that the Stardrops might help.

    I know not to put it in hot water or the stain may set.

    I managed to find it in Savers 66p very pleased.

    I used it neat on my baken on filthy oven bottom and it worked great, need another go but it was not hard work at all, also used it on my hob and on the work surfaces and the doors.

    Very pleased with the results and the price, thank you all

    I couldn't get any Persil Non Bio powder today so I bought the tablets instead.

    I also bought a bag of Soda Crystals.

    Can someone please tell me what measurements to use to do a wash using washing tablets, soda crystals and Stardrops please?

    We live in a hardwater area.

    Ta!

    Sorry I can't help with tablets as since I learned on here about soda crystals/Stardrops I just use cheap powder. I imagine half a tab would be enough, that's what I'd use if I used them, IYSWIM! I use approx 1 large tablespoon of powder and the same of crystals in a ball in the drum, plus a quick 'squirt' of Stardrops in the drawer. No more than a desertspoonful or your machine will burst (pardon the pun) into the song 'I'm forever blowing bubbles...' . Stubborn stains get a scrub with a drop of Stardops on a toothbrush before putting in the machine.

    Using the above on a 30 wash I'm really impressed with the results.

    Well, managed to find Stardrops at local Sainsburys, tried it on the blood stains on my white shirt and voila!
    Stains came out completely in the wash.
