My dd loves tomato soup but when she has it at nursery it always gets on her clothes, does anyone have any tips on this?

Thank you.

The strong fairy liquid that Ainsley Harriet, I think that is his name, advertises, is really good for getting rid of stubborn stains. Wet the stain, splosh on the fairy liquid, leave for a few minutes and then put in the washing machine.

De-Solv-It gets almost anything out of everything! Curry out of whte shirts, Grease sposts etc, all go.!

Also, wash well and dry in strong sunshine.

Absolutely foolproof works every time:

Hang out in the sun, or even just in daylight.

I'm a sod for doing this myself on white tops! If I've already washed it and the stain hasn't come out I wash it again but first apply a little dab of bleach to the stain with a cotton bud.

Having tried many many chemical solutions..I would recommend hanging stained clothes up somewhere in the sun - it really does work!

That method got rid of all DS1's poo stains on his nappies too.

If you can tackle quite early after the stain run it under cold water which stop the stain from clining and absorbing further into the fabric,then wash as normal. (someone told me whitening toothpaste is good for any dotted stains left but i have never tried it)

You need to treat the stain and hand wash in cold water to try and get it out. Once you have washed it in hot water you set the stain and it is harder to get out.
