Green pesto stains

8 replies

So i was making dinner tonight and had eleventy billion things to do at once. Had the kids school jumpers/trousers in a wash and shirts lying on the floor in front of the machine.

Stupid cunting me goes to put something in the sink while cleverly holding a jar of green pesto. It pours over all four polo shirts.

Can i unfuck them?

Have absolutely no suggestions but having thrown a load of pesto at myself whilst wearing a white tshirt this evening (as you do...!!), I'm place marking in earnest!!

Elbow grease. It's less than £1 and you can buy it in B&M and places like that.

I've got pesto stains out of clothes with this before BUT I got it on straight away.

Worth a try though because it's cheap as chips.

I find a good scrub with washing up liquid is the best first step, soak anything that's still stained in a bucket with a tonne of vanish.

Argh just wrote a big reply and the bloody bar popped up so lost it.

Thanks guys, unfortunately I chucked them straight in a 60 deg wash then into vanish which didn't help. Have had them out in the sun all day and still awful. Will try our local sainsbury and tesco for it.

I'm such a twat. Glad im not the only one @fairydustandpixies Grin

You may have to give up and dye them green!
