Stains

My 11 year old son has just taken up Rugby and his Rugby shirt is filthy.

I have scrunged liquid on, but am still having to wash it twice.

Any ideas on removing mud - even oxiclean wouldn't shift it in one wash last week.

I would soak it, but it is red with a white collar and he has a major aversion to pink

It is costing me a fortune in leccy to wash it.

Soak it and it will come out easier but put salt in the water and the red won't run ;D

I use borax, available from Boot £2.00 something for 750g.

It comes in powder form and what I usually do is:

-dampen area with stain

-put a small amount of borax onto dampened area (if particularly hard to remove stain, then give it a bit of a scrub) and leave it for a few minutes

-wash in the normal way

Apparently borax will not damage anything that would not normally be damaged by water.

Ps I also use it once a week, combined with my normal shampoo to remove build up of 'products' from my hair!

Cannot recommend this stuff enough!
