Beware ice-cream stains!

Thought you might be interested (if you have not discovered already) to know that Walls Mini Milk ice-creams (particularly the chocolate one) stains terribly. I have 2 items of toddler clothing that cannot be worn again because the marks are so obvious. They were soaked immediately after the drips occurred and were then washed as normal in a machine. I was so shocked to see them there afterwards. I have been onto the Walls careline and they quite proudly told me that "Yes, our products do stain and No there is no warning on the boxes!!!" As a goodwill gesture they are sending me a £3 Walls voucher - whooopee I can buy some more!

Anyway make sure your little ones are naked when they (if they) eat this product although I dread to think what it might do to their skin. Walls assured me that there are no artificial colourings in the mini milks - I'm not so sure!

pretty much all chocolate ice cream stains. Takes a vast number of washes to shift the marks.

Yes, these do stain and I think even Shout, which removes most stains can't totally shift this one. I always give ds2 the white ones and leave the pink and choc ones for the older pair!

Do you have oxyclean in the UK? It seems to get out practically everything.

NannyL · 03/09/2005 11:26

vanish oxyaction is i think similar.... even making the powder into the 'paste' (its strongest form) didnt work for me

DS is only allowed choc ice cream with T shirt off

Good idea to campaign to have warnings on the boxes

My mum reckons "terrys choc orange" ice cream doesn't stain and it is deffo brill to eat.

yes we have oxyclean jabberwocky...tis fab!!!!!

also oxyaction but i think oxyclean does a better job.

We managed to get choc ice cream off after a few washes with oxyclean BUT its still on the white part of the top(its one of those monkey tops from next)
