Mud/dirt stains that won't shift!

[Stevie77]

DD fell on her knees and marked a pair of cotton/linen like trousers. I've so far tried:

Oxy stain remover and normal (30 degree) wash

Put detergent (non bio) directly onto marks and soak in cold water.

Soak in Bicarb and cold water.

Nothing is shifting those marks and it'd be such a shame to get rid of them (couldn't even give to charity shop in current state). Any ideas?

Soda crystals are your friend. Honestly. I've only just discovered them but they shift absolutely everything, when all the other expensive stain removers don't touch the grot.

Thanks! Where do I get them? Laundry isle in the supermarket?

Have you tried a squirt of washing up liquid on the stains, before washing?

I've not tried washing up liquid, I thought that oy worked on greasy stains?

soak over night in bio powder + water.
hang up outside to dry if you can for extra uv light.

soda crystals are brilliant, just add a scoop directly into drum of washer for really dirty stuff.

DH tries to plays rugby and he has brought kit home palstered in mud. What I do is squirt washing up liquid all voer the mud and rub it in, then put a squirt in teh drawer too. Then wash on normal cycle. it has always got them clean

Thanks! Have got soda crystals last night so will try them and washing up liquid and hopefully one will work
