Keep sponging with eucalyptus oil until creosote is removed. Wash as normal. Should any stain remain dry-clean. CLICK HERE

You could make them into denim shorts if all else fails.

His 15 so he doesnt show his legs very often :rotfl: otherwise i would have

I was just looking on google and some have said nail varnish remover or coca cola but im not too sure i dont want to wash them until i know something that will work

Do you know if the oil works because i can get some when i next go shopping

No I don't it's just what I managed to find out.

Are you sure it's creosote? I didn't think you could use it now. I wondered is it a substitute and may be easier to remove.

Try WD40 , know its a long shot but it got tar off kids clothes once.

Hi
Im sure it is he was staining a bird table and he said ive got creosote on them now so i assumed thats what it said on the container or what his tutors told him it was and it does look like it

If its wood stain is that easier to use because i could try that first but dont really want to wash it until i know just incase i set the stain

Some fence stain literally just washes off, I have Cuprinol fence stain, and I splattered my tshirt amongst other things like the plants, the grass etc as I was staining the fence, I simply washed the tshirt after soaking it in Bicarbonate of Soda, stain gone, also sunlight is an excellent stain remover, I find if I put wet stained clothes on the washing line in strong sunshine, the stain disappears. It works for tomato kethup, bol sauce to name a few.

Thanks for that i think(fingers crossed its come out) i scrubbed it before i put it in the wash with neat fairy liquid and most of the stains have gone apart from a few which have faded but i will put them on the line and hopefully the sun will help
)my thanks button has gone thats why i thanked you in a post but i will click your thanks button when it decides to come back

Thanks everyone for your help

Heya,

They don't sell proper creosote to the public anymore, it causes cancer...

So you may well be lucky, and it'll just wash out. If not, I'd try WD40 as suggested, or an overnight soak in biological before washing.
