How can I remove lime green Calippo stains from bedding and clothing?

[SaturdayGiraffe]

Lime green Calippo stains on bedding and brand new shirt.

Immediately soaked in cold water and put on stain treatment. Not budging.

Anyone managed to get it out?

Put them out in direct sun? It works for tomato stains - no idea if it will work but it won’t hurt

Marseille Soap. Works every time
alternative is citric acid and the sun

Never heard of this, thanks.

Doing that now… 🙏

Same suggestion as a pp - citric acid.
Dissolve in hot water and apply to the stain once cool. Easier if you put it in a spare spray bottle, as you may need to repeat the process. Leave the garment in bright sunlight, either outside or at a sunny window. Keep repeating if necessary.

This has worked on everything I have tried, including dark red oil paint on white trousers.

DD dripped calippo down her (brand new) t-shirt last week. This worked:

About a tbsp of green bleach, dissolve in about half a kettle full of boiling water.

Add about a tbsp of washing soda.

When dissolved, top up with cold until it's lukewarm.

Add clothes, leave overnight. Wash on as hot a wash as the labels allow.

Preferably dry on the line in sunshine.

I understand the shirt but out of curiosity how did it get on the sheet?
Who eats a lolly in bed? 🤣🤣🤣

Who indeed! I’m afraid it was a child who doesn’t listen when I say OFF THE BED BEFORE YOU STAIN THE SHEETS 😂

I don’t have washing soda (I don’t think I’ve ever seen or used it, is it the same as citric acid? where do you get it?) but all the tips about sunshine worked. The first round of soaking and washing etc didn’t clear it but then good strong sun really did!

Now I need to start another thread about sunscreen stains around t-shirt necks 🙄
Unless anyone has tips for that, because sunshine did not work on those…

I have heard of taking a cup of tea to bed before but never a lolly 🤣🤣🤣🤣
