How to get my robe white

Hi I have a lovely white towelling robe from White Company. It’s still mainly white but an area around the hood where the back of my neck would be has gone discoloured and looks stained. Any advice how to get this white again but still retain the fluffiness please?

@teaandtoastwithmarmite I would try a long soak in Vanish (the one specifically for white fabrics) in COLD water, at least 12 hours, and sprinkle some neat Vanish on the affected area. You don't have to soak the whole robe, just the bit that's discoloured.

If that doesn't fully do it, then squeeze out the water and scrub by hand with bar soap. Sometimes it's enough to scrub a bit without soap and just the Vanish-y water.

After the stain is gone, wash as normal on the highest temperature allowed, with biological powder and a scoop of Vanish.
