Food stains on white trousers :(

Posts: 1,628 Forumite
Mrs B went out last night and managed to get various foodstuffs on her white trousers. Have been soaking all night (the trousers, not Mrs B!)
Food stuffs were of the red variety including choritzo(?) tapas etc.. so very red in colour.
Vanish hasn't touched it.
Any recommendations please
Many thanks in advance - and apologies if this should be posted elsewhere... feel free to move admin!

What he said ^^^^ depending on the material.
I try that flash with bleach spray first and build up the strength with normal diluted bleach concentrations until results achieved."If you act like an illiterate man, your learning will never stop... Being uneducated, you have no fear of the future.".....

I have never found that Vanish was the slightest use. At least, not for cleaning fabrics.I can afford anything that I want.
Just so long as I don't want much.0 -
There is a spray product called De-Solv-it (Tesco stock it but am sure other places will too) It is fab at removing all sorts of things, I use it all the time.0

Try hanging outside facing the sun!!!! If we ever get any!
It works for curry and most food stains.

Don't wear white trousers.
It is actually a very brave or stupid act dependant on situation.I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.
Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)
Always expect the unexpected:eek:and then you won't be dissapointed0 -
There is an all purpose cleaning product called Bar Keepers friend that I have found successfully removes stains from white clothing. You can buy it in hardware stores such as Robert Dyas and I know I did buy some one time in Asda.
Work the powder into a paste on the stain with the aid of something like a toothbrush. With some hard to remove stains you may have to have 2 or perhaps even 3 attempts to shift completely.
This stuff is marvellous for so many household jobs and it makes real light work of bringing tile grouting back to it's original nice white colour.The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.
I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.0
