Calamine lotion stain

I've managed to spill calamine lotion (not camomile, as I wrote before!) down my new jeans. :mad: I thought it would just come out in the wash, but you can still see the stain. Has anyone got any ideas as to how I can get rid of it?
Thanks

    No wonder I didn't get any replies before - I was drinking camomile tea when I posted and got confused!

    Hi straws,

    I don't know if this will work as you've already washed them but it's worth a try: Get out calamine lotion stains

    Hiya, my son currently has chicken pox, and so am using a gallon of this horrible stuff, anyway, some dribbled onto the sofa, and on a quick swipe with stain remover - its not budging - any ideas?

    its now dried on (happened yesterday) , and the sofa is a black fabric one.

    thanks

  • No idea, but we do have an existing thread for getting calamine out of a shirt which might help you (Pink has put a link in there, too ;) ). I'll merge the threads to see if you can get any ideas.
