Next question-white shorts and mud stains!

[Worried123456]

DS's PE shorts have come back filthy after cross country yesterday-absolutely covered in mud! I am currently soaking them in some powdery pink oxyaction stuff, but it doesn't look like the mud is budging!

Can anyone offer any tips? Honestly, why don't the PE dept recommend black shorts!!

I have to get mud out do ds's pale grey football strip every week-I rub a bar of soap into the stains (just ordinary bathroom soap, think I'm on do e just now) and chuck it in the machine and it generally comes out fine

DS's team used to have an all white football kit. I used to soak it overnight in bio liquid and vanish powder and then wash as normal with bio. Used to come out completely clean.

Wash at 40C with Persil big box powder - the green bio one .

There would still be marks after the soaking btw, but the action of the washing machine would get them out.
