white school polo shirts how to you remove stains its annoying me now....

[mum2samandalex]

he only just started school 3 wks ago and his shirts are mess already. Ive tried daz and washing on 40 degrees and tesco stain remover. One has felt tip pen or biro and the other has chocolate. White can't i get my whites white!

Vanish oxo action and then if possible dry in the sun

Use non-chlorine bleach not toilet bleach. Napisan will do.

White socks are a blighter too. When my DD was at primary she liked those socks with the little holey patterns .
And of course they got mankey when they were on socks only and from shoes (either new shoes or shoe polish)

I tried bleach but it made them yellowy.

Now she's in 6th form (no uniform) but likes those white trainer socks .

I bought a lock'n'lock box , put her socks in warm water with Bio powder and a scoop of stain powder then soak overnight . (or a couple of days if I'm slovenly)

If you have white board pen marks on any clothes use hand sanitizer and rub then put a small amount on ace bleach with a drop of bio liquid then either hand wash of put in machine then hang to dry.it works for me all the time.

I'm sure, @DearScroller, that 15 years later, the OP has resolved this issue!

Solved the White Polo Shirt Connundrum and the DS is 19/20yo and at work or University/College !
