    Just wash as normal & hang to dry with the tomato stain facing the sun. Works well for me.

    definitely BioTex! if you cant get it - buy Biological washing powder and soak it overnight in a thick solution of it. wash with the bio powder at normal 30/40 degrees and dry outside in sunlight if possible. I always found this to work when dealing with Bolognese sauce stains on the kids clothes.

    Pleased to hear your stain has gone, I have always found that natural sunlight will get rid of stains from tomato and lillies too.

    I have a stain on the back seat of my car thats driving me mad I think its from one of those 'slurpy' drinks that one of my DGS friends had unknown to me a few weeks ago.It has made a darker patch on the seat I have used a carpet cleaner and scrubbing brush to try and move it but no result at all any ideas it may be orange squash based .I have now banned any drinks in my car
  • I just make a mix of washing up liquid and white vinegar in equal parts and rub it in then leave overnight and wash the next day, this works for most stains even babies nappies and best of all it is cheap :D
    Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones that let in the light
