Tomato stains on linen

[RatherBe]

My white linen napkins have stains on them from a tomato-based sauce. I have washed them twice - the first time using a stain remover stick and the second time soaking in laundry bleach first. The stains are still there (now a noticeable - to me - yellow). I know tomato is a nightmare but before I give up I thought I would ask if anyone has any advice?

Lemon juice and sunshine can sometimes be effective - put some kitchen roll under the stain, squeeze a lemon onto the fabric, and leave the fabric complete with kitchen roll out somewhere sunny for a few hours. The soggy kitchen roll keeps it damp and lemony for longer I think.

Of course, that does require a bit of sunchine!

Oh thank you - that's a good idea about the lemon juice. Given the sunshine requirement it may be a few days before I can try it out though!
