Dd got marmite down a lovely cotton dress on Saturday and I forgot to soak it in oxi like I normally do, just got out of machine after washing last night and it is brown and yucky Hmm

Any top tips for forgotten about stain removal?

Bad bad mummy Hmm

I think it is difficult once the stain has been washed ifyswim (particularly if above 30°c) but if not yet dried in then you have a better of removing it.

I find Vanish (ordinary bars that require a bit of elbow grease) good on 'organic stains', I would rub on and then wash again at low temp and keep repeating until it is out.

It's surprising what plain old soap will shift, always worth a go, even years later.
