...of a long skirt, right at the bottom, both sides? Grrr. Skirt is viscose; have just stuck it in the freezer as first port of call. Thx.

I was always told freezer, then when hard try to peel it off

Yes, freeze it overnight and pick it off tomorrow.

BrettAndersonscheekbones · 02/07/2019 23:18

I'll give that a whirl tomorrow 👍🏻

This happened to me with a new coat, think it was wool/wool blend, I managed to get it in the freezer, this helped to get quite a bit off but not all. A mechanic friend suggested trying 'thinners' (paint thinners - which he uses for all sorts!) hey presto, worked a treat!

Thank you all. I got pretty much most of it out with freezer method plus stain devils for grease remover.
