Washing wonderweb. Cricket trousers!

[OutragedAtThePriceOfFreddos]

This term my ds has started cricket at school, so I went to the approved shop, as you do, and got his cricket trousers. They were all very long, and they came with wonderweb so you could make them the right length.

I've never used wonderweb before, and the first time I washed the trousers I put them on at 40 degrees with a stain remover powder as they were covered in mud, but the wonderweb came off in the wash. So I put more wonderweb on, and now I have to wash the mud covered trousers again today.

How do I get mud off white trousers in the wash and keep the wonderweb in tact so I don't have to iron it on again twice a week until the end of term?

Anyone?

I got impatient and put them in at 30, with stain remover that claims to work at 30, and the wonderweb is still there but so is the mud!

What were these people thinking when they designed cricket trousers that have to be wonderwebbed!?

i'd sew them, wonderweb is cack

I haven't had any problem with wonderweb on normal trousers with regard to washing. I'm, slightly worried as my son has gone off to boarding school with cricket trousers which have been wonderwebbed, I wonder how they'll wash!

Thanks. My sewing skills are crap, and the material doesn't really lend itself to crap sewing. But they stupid things come with wonderweb, they are supposed to be wonderwebbable!

I've got them in at 40 now, so I will wait and see what happens.
