    The sunlight will bleach it out if you hang outside on a sunny day.
    A minute at the till, a lifetime on the bill.

    Nothing tastes as good as being slim feels.

    Vanish Oxiaction Stain Remover - not cheap, but it works really well.

    I use Tesco value bleach on my OH's white work shirts when the cuffs get ground in grime. Brush it in with an old toothbrush then straight in the wash.

    DS1 has got blood on a plain white t-shirt that he is quite fond of and he didnt realised until it was well and truly dried on. I have had it soaking in cold water and bleach in the sink for a couple of hours. It has just gone in the wash with some other whites so fingers crossed!
