I recommend cleaning bathroom in underwear, or in nothing at all.

if the mark is small and/or inconspicious and the trousers are black, permanent marker is worth a bash...

No they're brown. They're maternity trousers so no big hoo haa I suppose but I was hoping to wear them post birth cos I love them so much.

you could try fabric pens?

and make sure you bleach down your patio naked also

YellowFeathers · 07/07/2006 16:37

I'd block out the light with the size I am atm so I wouldn't see what I'm doing

Fabric pens. Are they widely available?

ok..... you could bleach the whole trousers then redye them

colour run remover actually bleaches clothes back to white... i found this out when a green top had run onto my pink top, and i tried this thinking it would go back to pink but became white.... THEN i read the packaging moire closely...

i then died my top dark blue, and its fine, just different

"colour run remover actually bleaches clothes back to white" Not all of them do. I removed red dye from an aqua towel and got an aqua towel at the end.
