I have just washed a full white load of washing and then tumble dried it. The thing is that DS1 has put a green felt tip in the machine and now all the washing has big green pen marks all over it!!!! My machine has a broken heater so only washes in cold water so I can't use a stain remover and its all dried in.

I'm so gutted as it's all my white new shirts and best bed linen. I really could cry!!

could try soaking in bleach. i dyed a white wash blue the other week, soaked it in bleach for a couple of hours then rewashed it good as new

Ooohhh its not sounding good. I have shoved it all back in the wash with some vanish powder stuff. Hoping that will fade it a bit.

trust me, bleach

Sometimes bleach just thins the fabric though or is too dilute to have any effect. It is worth a shot to just dab the green bits with neat bleach, leave for just a few mins and then rewash.
