Heinz Tomato Soup on new shirt

6 replies

DS came home from friend's house with dried in tomato soup on his shirt.

I've put stain slayer on it, and put Oxy stuff in the washing machine with it, but it's still stained.

The shirt is brand new so I need to get this out.

Advice please?

My mum has always said put ariel bio liquid on, a little rub and put in the washing machine, however since you have already washed this once you may have already set the stain, but it is still worth a go. She has manged to get set in stains out

Tomato is the one thing that I've always found comes out in strong sunlight. On the next sunny day you have, put it out facing the sun for a few hours. It should disappear completely.

yep, bio powder and sunshine. Works on almost everything :)

OK, sunny days are rarer than hen's teeth here right now, but i'll give it a shot as soon as I can and report back. Thanks.

I was thinking that when I typed it. If you can put it in a window for a few days a weaker but longer dose may still work.

it doesn't even need to be that sunny - just wash it again in bio and hang it out whilst it's still damp

usually works for me!

what colour is the shirt?
