Orange stains that won't come out!

[chickenmama]

Does anyone have any tips on how to get orange stains (the fruit that is, not just the colour) out of my dd's clothes. She's such a messy eater and always gets the juice all down her front. I've tried vanish but it doesn't make much difference. Such a shame as most of her tops are now splodgy looking!

weak bleach solution - unless delicate fabric or put out in the bright sun (well when there is any that is!).

I used to soak my dds' bibs in (diluted) Milton fluid.

I put all the tomato stained clothes (loads!) in our house to dry in the sunlight. Through a window is fine - really gets the orange out. HTH.

Wow! I didn't know that about sunlight! I guess it explains how some of the stains seemed to disappear when I used to hang the clothes out in the summer

I think I'll try the window sill for now Do you know if it will still work when the clothes have already been washed and dried a couple of times?

Yes I expect so, but clothes must be wet for best results.
