    I will have to try and find some of this!

    OH has been doing lots of gardening and car work the last few weeks and instead of being sensible and wearing the same pair of jeans, he's managed to get about 4 pairs covered in mud, grass stains, oil and lord only knows what else! My normal wash is barely touching the stains never mind removing them!

    Hi,

    I bought a box of Biotex yesterday when i went shopping. I'm going to use it tomorrow and will hopefully get rid of the blasted grass stains.

    For grass stains, I always use a good quality washing up liquid, like Fairy, it works wonders, never had a stain which cannot be removed with Fairy. Simply pop some on over the stain on dry clothing, shove it in the machine with the normal wash and it will/should come out clean and stain free.

    I have tried the biotec in the washing machine and the stains are still there. They are now soaking in the bath and i will wash again later. If that doesn't work i'll go get some fairy.

    This is the sort of stain that will fade in the sun, if we ever get any!

    Put the trousers on a sunny windowsill and if the sun ever shines the stain will disappear.:D
