Clothing stains

[ErogenousJones]

Help!!

Have just returned from a karate competition with my 2 children and one of the beastly bu$$ers managed to spill hot chocolate over not only his, but his brothers white karate gi [ANGRY].

I have washed each twice at 40 degrees with 3 times the amount of powder but there is still a HUGE brown stain on both.

The cost of these suits is over £100 and they are less than 3 weeks old and worn just once!

To suggest that I am cross, is, errr.....

Anyway, what is recommended - perhaps nappy cleaner, white stain remover? The suits are in a tub of cold water in the meanwhile.

Bleach?
Chocolate is a nighmare!
I'd try using one of those oxygen stain removers like Oxyclean or nappisan and washing at a higher temperature, like 60 degrees minimum.

You don't think that this might set" the stain?

i use the baby oxyclean which is pretty good. as is shout.

I'll try those - is it worth doubling the dose.... these are seriously heavyweight cotton suits (18oz)

Is it worth adding some bicarbonate of soda to the bucket in the meanwhile?
