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!

what was the results?

i just tried rubbing toothpaste into the sauce stain, but no luck i thought about soaking with bleach, but i have three t shirts.

A friend suggested putting the t shirts on a hot wash, adding soda crystals, washing powder, conditioner, and a a drop of blech in the drum.

the t shirts are on the wash now.

I did not try the lemon, only because i have none.

Try putting washing up liquid onto the stain, leave for 30 mins, then put in the wash as usual.

Dirty cuffs and collars on shirts, as you take them off, wet them, then rub the edge of a bar of soap onto them, then wash with a load as normal.

Is it a new stain or one which you have already tried washing and the stain remains?

a few days old, placed through the normal washing machine

I just got the t shirts out of the washing machine.

As mentioned above, I used some thin bleach (asda basic), soda crystals, washing power and conditioner in the drawer.

I think cranked the dial to 60c - stains and hey presto, after just over an hour, they have come out white and good as new.

I am so chuffed, as usually i would of thrown them away, and purchased new ones - never again
