Help! Ribena on Sofa!

2 replies

DS has helpfully emptied and entire beaker of ribena on my brown chenille sofa. If I put the cover in the washing machine at 30 degrees on a quick wash, do you think it'll be okay? I mean get the stain out and not shrink? The covers come off via a zipper so I assume it's not too much of a risk but you never know...

try hand wash at 30 and hang on a radiator.
use normal washing powder should do the trick. Let me know. or put a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda in it helps with stains.
Good luck

I washed in the machine at 30 degrees with non-bio then hung it on the radiator. Seems to have done the trick, only difficulty was getting the cover back on as it's a corner unit and the cushion was an odd shape!
