Matalan are looking for 250 Mumsnetters with a child aged 3-13 to try out an item of uniform clothing from their “Teflon Stain Resistant” range.

Here’s what Matalan say. “Our Teflon stain resistant coating is designed to repel water and stains, restricting stains from absorbing into the fabric. We know kids will be kids and we want to help you keep them looking smart for school and make sure their school uniform lasts.”

Selected testers will receive an online voucher including a barcode allowing them to select one item from the specified range for free. Testers can either present the voucher using their mobile phone or print off their voucher and use it in store. The selected items will be available in all Matalan stores. You can call ahead to your nearest store to check stock availability – find your store’s contact details here: www.matalan.co.uk/stores. Please note only this product test is limited to one child per household.

Testers will be free to select their size and colour preference. Please note that the vouchers will only be valid from 4th-16th April, so selected testers must purchase their item between those dates. For a full range of the products on offer, please see below:

MummyBtothree · 24/03/2016 17:40

Would love to try this. My Middle DS goes through trousers like I dunno what!

Intotheclouds · 24/03/2016 17:44

Finally managed to submit the form after Q.4 kept asking for a comment when there didn't need to be one.

carz1985 · 24/03/2016 17:45

Done.Would be nice get this my daughters growing out her uniform so quick have keep buying her new all time

Inkymess · 24/03/2016 18:41

Applied - never tried them before!

MissRabbitHasTooManyJobs · 24/03/2016 19:17

I've signed up too, never used matalan for uniform.
Dd is in reception and they've been wearing a ( horrible ) school track suit for the winter months and after Easter they're allowed a "proper uniform " and I can't wait :)

Ilikesweetpeas · 24/03/2016 19:42

I've applied too, never had uniform from Matalan and would like to try it!

FranksBobot · 24/03/2016 20:36

Would be interesting to see how Matalan uniforms hold up against my destructible child (dd1)!!

wannabestressfree · 24/03/2016 22:18

Keeps saying
'Question needs an answer'
When there isn't one :/

eastmidswarwicknightnanny · 25/03/2016 05:15

Yes please have completed my D's goes through so many jumpers from! Pen stains that are apparently washable!!

nerysw · 25/03/2016 06:53

Applied, my grubby 4 year old would be ideal to give them a thorough test!

Are all the address fields completed?

wannabestressfree · 25/03/2016 09:35

It went through this morning.... it didn't like where I live!

hareagain · 25/03/2016 09:54

DS will be the ultimate test. Costs me a small fortune.

waitingforgodot · 25/03/2016 11:41

Quite tricky to complete on my phone. Done now! Matalan must relish a challenge!

VoldysGoneMouldy · 25/03/2016 15:34

Have signed up. I don't want to think how much I spend on uniform each year - would be fab to see if this is true to it's name.

glenthebattleostrich · 25/03/2016 16:15

I've applied. my child is on a mission to bankrupt me by growing stupidly fast and generally being incredibly destructive.

SmileyShazza · 25/03/2016 22:45

I would love to give this range a try and I've always wondered how it compares to the current place I buy DS' school uniform from.

leccybill · 26/03/2016 13:43

I've applied for this.

ScarlettDarling · 26/03/2016 20:00

Applied

afromom · 27/03/2016 18:37

Done! DS is in secondary now and still going through school trousers at a rate of knots! Let's hope metal an have the answer!

AtSea1979 · 27/03/2016 20:20

Done. I would love to try this for DD and if better than my usual brand, will buy for all DC in future.
