Cheap stain removers?

iAMaLONDONER

I've used Vanish Oxy Gold ( I received a free box with Bzz agent) but it hasn't worked for me so far

Does anyone know of any cheap stain removers which actually work!

Honestly? I think they're all rubbish, and children shouldn't be allowed near pens or food!! In fact I think the Oxy Gold is one of the better ones. And it seems to make a huge difference which washing powder you use with it.

I have got a 'selection box' of Stain Devils. It takes an annoying amount of elbow grease, but the stains do come out in the end. And as expensive and time consuming as it is, it's still cheaper and easier than buying new.

The trick is to spot the stains before they go in the wash I think. Or wear a bib!

Is there a particular stain you're trying to remove? Different stains respond to different things.

I generally use 'eco bleach' (sodium percarbonate, usually). I get the cheap stuff from Big Green Smile, I think it's the Clean and Natural one, the same company that does washing soda, bicarb etc. You can use it on colours but be careful. It's good for whites. I also like the Ecover stain remover in a bottle with the brush bit on the end. Other than that, natural light is good if you have the time, even if it's cold and cloudy.

Yellow deodorant stains?
