Can these stains be removed? Or shall I weep and move on?!

I'v not had a good laundry week and my normal squirt with vanish or soak in biotex tricks have not worked. Can anyone help with these 2 stains?

  1. I washed a pair of brand new dark jeans belonging to my DS with my DD's NEW pink cardigan (pressie from godmother ... from White Company) and the dye has leaked into it in patches. Have now ashed twice and no luck. Please tell me its not ruined for ever!


  1. My mother kindly looked after children for night ... and let DS eat a banana in bed Not sure how much was eaten but discovered a scary amount on sheet, pillow case and duvet cover. Came off sheet but not others.


Thanks so much!

  1. Colour run remover?


  1. Soak in a solution of borax for a few hours, then hot wash again.


The borax would probably work on the pink cardie as well, but it depends on what it's made from.

Would one of those dye magnet sheets take out the dye in the cardi?

I bet you could have wept!

i always use:

soak in vanish,then

spray with vanish and finally

wash with new vanish magnet.

Sounds a bit excessive ( as can use magnet on own for most stains),but doing in above order has always brought out all my stains including colour run.

give it a blast, iut can only improve it
