How do you get carrot etc stains out of clothes?

So far I am using Vanish spray followed by a 60degree wash with Fairy Non Bio and it is not removing the carrot/any orange stains from DDs (and my) clothes?

Any recommendations?

Also when can you start using bio powder? Shall I buy some as a test and see if she reacts to it?

I have not had to deal with carrot stains, but I use shout spray which is fantastic... haven't had a stain it can't deal with yet!

if all else fails - try Milton

I use Vanish Oxyaction. Wet the garment, not too much water, and sprinkle the granules on direct. Gets everything out, inc tea! Might try Shout spray now as I like new product

Vanish spray worked for me on a 40 degree wash!

soak in nappisan overnight and put a good measure of it in the wash. Also wash with pre-wash.

alternatively... buy lots of orange tops

Could i just butt in and ask all of you if you know of any ways to get chocolate stains and tom and baked bean sauce off clothes.DD nearly 4 likes to wipe her mouth on her sleeves!.I use shout spray,this helps but doesn't totally remove the marks.Any ideas?.

MrsBigD · 08/01/2005 18:06

NO help....just more stain obsessions!!
Mine are, tomatoes, banana, orange/tangerine just to name a few....end up stripping children to eat!
