i've checked previous threads on this topic and discovered washing up liquid (i knew i should have listened to my mother ) and possibly Tesco budget stain remover are the only ones that have managed to remove choc ice cream!
thought i'd see if there were any new revelations for 2010 as i've just discovered 3 lovely t-shirts that DC1 was wearing when eating said ice cream! one is hidesously expensive that silly DH bought for him!! so i've promised him i'd ask the Mumsnet Powers that Be and see what you all come up with.
TIA
