Tomato sauce stains on NEW white t shirt

8 replies

I know I know. Who would be daft enough to let a fancy new t shirt near pasta sauce. But I did and it got splashed. Tried to wash in hotel sink with soap and scrubbed with toothbrush but they're still there- splotches of stain. Can I rescue it now I'm back off hols?!

The Vanish gel in the pink bottle with the knobbly top. Amazing stuff!

Place it in direct sun light and the sun will bleach out the stains.

If Vanish doesn't work you could try a bleach solution as it's white. Soak for a few hours then wash as normal. Hang it outside in sunshine to dry if you can. Sunlight is great on stains.

The Vanish gel is good but the Vanish soap bar is even better. The gel, on rare occasions, needed a second go but the soap bar has always got it straight away.

Also try and dry it in the sunshine if the weather obliges. It'll bleach any stain out if the vanish doesn't work..

Ah, cross post there.

Stick it outside, even if it's overcast the sun will bleach it out

Will get some of the Vanish thanks- I did hand wash and dry in sun but it was only hotel shampoo so can't expect much! Grin

Soak in Milton, wash as normal and leave out in the sun (even on rainy sunny day) it will come out.
