DS has trashed these very nice trainers Sad

I've tried a normal wash, scrubbing neat bleach into the toes, leaving them out in the sun..

The leather bits always come up lovely but that fabric - nylon but at the front is nearly black!!

Any wonder products / method you swear by??

Hmmm I've looked at that but there's only one product option so I'm not convinced it's what I need.

Someone suggested napisan, but I haven’t tried it myself yet.

Pink stuff ... lots on and scrub then re wash

Is it loo bleach or laundry bleach you have tried?

FusionChefGeoff · 04/10/2021 22:53

Haven't tried napisan so that's one option.

@bridgeofslides it was loo bleach - didn't realise you could get any other version?!

@jesusmaryjosephandtheweedonkey is that literally some kind of detergent called Pink Stuff or am I being a bit dense??

Yes it is. Try get the tub, although the spray will be fine

bridgeofslides · 04/10/2021 22:58

@FusionChefGeoff you can buy Ace laundry bleach in Poundland it's stronger I love it.

I’ve cleaned up worse using a normal bar of soap and a nail brush to work it into the fabric, spend about half an hour doing that, then put them in the washing machine with your usual detergent, with the soap still worked into the fabric

Send them to Fresh Kicks, fresh-kicks.co.uk/ looking at their Facebook page, they can work miracles.
