lily pollen stains

maow425

I have gotten loads of stains out with baby wipes. Even got beetroot off my favourite jeans!

if you get lillies in a bouquet its a good idea to snip out the stamens with the pollen

don't use water on lily pollen! it makes it worse. prob too late now but a good method is to use sellotape and lift the pollen 'dust'.

I managed to get lily pollen out of the carpet by scrubbing with Stardrops. (Does that qualify me as a 'proper' OS-er?:rotfl: )

Hope someone can help me!!

Got some fab lilies, look great but I now have a yellow stain on my wall (which is wallpapered - spongable paper).:mad:

We blew the pollen off then sponged it but no luck. The stain is in the middle of the wall right at eye point! Great! :eek:

Any ideas greatfully accepted!! Pleeeeeese!!!

Run some sticky tape over the stain which should pick up stray pollen but I'm not sure how well this will work if the stain has been sponged

odds-n-sods

it won't, i think. you've got a pollen-painted wall now, so not sure what you need to do.......

I think redecorating may be an option lol!

have you got any wallpaper left? if so you can tear a matching bit to glue on top of the stain, tear the paper though dont cut it as that will make it too visible, thats if all else fails
you will always know its there but visitors wont iyswim
