Hi all, am so depressed. Bought a brand new white jacket for the little dude. www.johnlewis.com/329958/Product.aspx Put it for a wash with a new red cardigan. Well, I didn't think there would be any colour escaping....but it did....:(

I now have a white jacket which is slightly pink all over and covered with red lint; and I have no idea how to clean it up.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.....

wrap sellotape round your hand, sticky side out, and wipe it. Or buy a lint-roller at the dry-cleaners.

Also useful for picking up tiny fragments of broken glass.
