Nail polish, courtesy of DDs annoying habit of not securing tops on bottles.

Also turmeric, the swine!

With two ballroom dancing boys who wear white collared, tight fighting shirts for competitions, the combination of sweat, fake tan and make up is my nemesis! Especially when the shirts have to be sparkling white and are worn for long days full of dancing under the bright lights which show everything!

Tomato sauce and sun cream

There should've been a trigger warning on this thread. I am extremely scared of stains, especially Heinz tomato soup.
I won't sleep tonight.

Shit mostly. And tomato.

blood - if you don't get it in cold, salt water straight away there's no chance of getting it out properly

Also - yelling seat/deodorant stains, especially on white tops!

The whiteboard pens the kids write with at school! I can't shift them off their yellow polo shirts 😲

Tomato. Ds2's white polo shirts often end up in a 60C wash because that's the only way to shift the stains. That's the ones he hasn't ruined with permanent marker.

Curry and Ink

Chicken tikka sauce.

My dog pinched a piece of chicken tikka and promptly ran upstairs and ate it on my bed.
Bedding had a boil wash but the orange stains remain.

Tomato sauce, strawberry juice, blood, oil and sweat stains.

Curry, turmeric, and anything tomato-based

Beetroot!

Baby pop. My 4 mo produces it in frightening volumes

Also mud from my older boy’s football kit in winter

Suncream and sauces with tomato in them. They need fast action and line drying!

'Scared of' is a huge step too far, but suncream stains are the ones I don't expect to be able to shift.

The absolute worst stains that we have in our house are stains my husband gets on his trousers or T-shirts which are from his bike. What on earth is on that bike chain? I've never managed to get out any of the stains! Like grease or a thick oil? Anyone else with crazy cycle mad husbands have this problem?

School pens and baby poo

I can't get worked up about much, but I hate shifting bike grease and suncream marks

Any tomato based product or grease.

Raspberries, grease and tomato based sauces.

Blood. Poor DS has lots of nosebleeds at night and manages to get blood everywhere.... Like a horror movie sometimes! Can't always quite get it out of light colored bedding.

Berries, tomato based sauces and oil!

Bright orange pollen, blood and ketchup, oil as well

Ketchup. It stains white tops so easily. Also dried in chocolate.
