How do you get slide mud off of the arse of trousers?

[D0oinMeCleanin]

Normal mud comes off fine. Mud from slides on the arses of jeans does not.

It's happened twice now, once on dd1's new jeans (which are beige and patterned anyway, so it's not too bad, you can't see it unless you know it's there) and once on dd2's white jeans (MIL)

With the white jeans I have even tried soaking them in a bucket of bleach but it just will not shift.

Anyone? I can't be the only mum whose children have muddy arses. Although I might be the only eejit whose children play on slides in the rain

You're not alone, I'm an eejit too - I just havn't managed to get the mud out of DD's pink cords!!

I've soaked them in bio powder, sprayed them with oxy stain remover stuff and washed them twice and its still kind of there. You can't see it too much now but its there.

I'll wait with you untill someone can tell us what to do

love your thread title :o

I would rub the stain with oil or butter (most organic stains are fat soluble) and then add a scoop of soda crystals to the washing powder. long cycle with prewash. and don't wash too warm, that would only set the stain, 40 max.

Oil? [wibble]

Dd1's jeans were 20 fecking quid, I'm not sure I'd dare put oil on them, I could have bought myself three pairs for the same price (bastard River Island, selling kids clothes and advertising them in the window, meant no other jeans in the whole town would have done )

I might practise on dd2's white jeans first. MIL never learns, this is the third pair of white jeans she has bought dd2, then she questions why the child is only ever seen wearing them once

I would had thought the opposite adding of oily substance myself. Would it jot be an oily stain if it's not conning out with detergents?

I have been known to use a blob of my face cleanser to remove oily marks; it's designed to remove makeup and has certainly worked for me on those oily patches left over when something has been washed (and even sometimes after it's been dried as well)

I just rubbed a blob on (in my case it was Clinique Foaming Cleanser) and rewashed in a normal load with a little vanish powder too. The vanish alone didn't shift it, but cleanser did

I wouldn't recommend using your best cleanser for a big job, but may be worth a go!

floydie that is where the soda crystals come in. the oil/butter shifts the stain and the soda shifts the grease :)

face cleaners are often oil based as well, good idea to try, anyway.
