Help - I’ve spoilt some of dd’s tops

Left them pegged outside on the washing line a bit too long and they have a faint line across where they’ve been pegged.

Anything I can do?

Have you re-washed them?

It could just be the optical bleach in a bio powder like Ariel. Rinse them through with a nonbio and see if that works,otherwise I think you’re stuffed.

You've bleached them. Nothing you can do. Replace them and next time turn them inside out!

Did you hang them inside out, as you should?

Ha ha, she’s 18 and very fussy about her clothes.

Didn’t hang inside out unfortunately

I’ve managed to find on Vinted one of the tops 👍🏻

The other one is White Fox but a plain t-shirt, no logos or graphics.

It's bad luck of course it is, but maybe dd can take over her own laundry only have herself to kick off at

At 18 I would be telling her to take this as a lesson to do her own laundry.

That's not always feasible. We don't have enough lights and whites to make a full wash for individual family members for example.

I would be hand washing them myself.
Especially if you only have a few whites to do at a time.
Bung them in the spinner on delicate, place them on a well-shaped hanger and pin them well onto the line by the hangers hook.

Yes. My older 2 dds (24 and 22) are back at home currently after graduation.

I currently do all the family’s washing together because a) it’s more practical, and b) older dds work full time and I only work 2 days/week.

However I am about to up my working days so it’s a good time to say to older 2 they will have to start doing their own. They won’t mind, they’re both helpful, cook sometimes etc.

However I am wary of asking dd3 to do her own laundry, she will see it as very unfair that I did her sisters’ when they were 18 🤷‍♀️
