Good Evening

My OH seems to have got pink(?) highlighter pen on his white shirt. I have tried to get this clean but it doesnt seem to want to come out.

Any advice would be great please, otherwise i will have to throw it out :(

    You could try soaking overnight in napisan - it works on virtually all of our stains here :)

    Sometimes I make it into a paste and rub on particularly nasty stains, then soak ;)

    There's a laundry product called 'colour run'. Useful for such occasions.... and when the morris dancing kit gets dyed pink!!

    Glo white travel wash is really good for getting stains out as well. I've got red wine out of a white top with that before.

    But till I try, I'll never know!
