Are my trousers a hopeless cause?

No jokes please...
I managed to spatter mahogany decking oil on a pair of cream coloured cotton trousers. They've just been washed at 60 degrees but obviously the stuff hasn't budged. Are they dead?

I think you may have to dye them

I have not had good results with dyeing in the past!
I might just have to give them up. They are three years old so it's not too bad.
Also, I don't think mahogany trousers are all that fashionable...0 -
Just give it a shot, a Dylon machine dye from Wilkinsons is only a couple of quid and a black dye will cover a multitude of sins

We all need gardening/housechores clothes don't we?I lost my job as a cricket commentator for saying “I don’t want to bore you with the details”.Milton Jones0

Great for wearing to do gardening or washing the car. Or for dusters. Chop the legs off and make them into shorts, then longish tshirt over to keep obvious splodges concealed. Bet you really liked these trews...never mind, at least they weren't brand new.0

Oh, believe me, I have plenty of 'work' clothes! I am very clumsy so you can guarantee if I am wearing a brand-new white top I will spill spaghetti bolognaise on it.
Soon I will have more 'only to be worn indoors' clothes than ones that are fit to be worn in public!0 -
I'll bet your trews are a gonna!
The decking oil probably contained stain ... so if it can stain wood, it'll definitely stain cotton.
you are a numpty
You said you have plenty of work clothes and then did a messy chore in "good" clothes. And cream clothes, at that, whilst staining wood. Numpty! Warning ..... I'm a peri-menopausal axe-wielding maniac0 -
It might be worth emailing the manufacturer of the decking stain and asking them what you could use to remove it. otherwise i reckon your trousers are finished..0

I don't know, brown is the new black this year When life hands you a lemon, make sure you ask for tequilla and salt0 -
No, no, I heard on tv last night that black is the new white
Therefore, dye them BLACK0
