I manage to get most stains out with various methods, but for me it is grass stains on knees, and tomato based pasta sauces, they require soaking, scrubbing stain removers and 2 or 3 washes, my go to stain remover is a squirt of hair spray (mad I know) and stain remover and a full 30 degree wash with a good detergent - fairy usually does the trick !

Grass and stains are such a pain to remove

Banana! Its the only thing i just cant get out no matter how hard i try.

Definitely not scared of stains but food grease is my nemesis. I can never shift it clothes.

Curry stains are a nightmare! The oil and turmeric never seems to come out.

Anything my daughter eats that is tomato based seems to stain ☹️

Ribena! My 3 year old toddler has autism and currently only drinks blackcurrant ribena. I can never seem to wash away the stains.

tea.how do I always dribble it down the side of the mug onto my shirt!
biro.

food stains- ice cream- ice lollies , tomoto sauce to name a few

I used to be scared of oil, sauce, grass stains but the new one at the moment is slime. Some come out with ease on a high wash and some it doesn't matter what I use or how high I wash it in the washing machine it just won't budge!!! Whenever my daughter plays with it I ask her to put some old clothes on as it just seems to ruin everything she wears. Also when she collects dandelions for her guinea pigs in her pockets the stains take AGES to come out!!! Any tips??

Lily pollen if it gets on your clothes a nightmare to remove

Orange pollen from lollies
Tomato and curry based sauces
Grass stains

Oil paint

Sun cream. Discolours everything, white things permanently.

Baby poo and blood. The only two things that need extra attention before the wash or else you’re stuck with them!!

It’s a dead heat between curry sauces (those with turmeric in them) and sun cream

Another vote for blood! I get little bloodspots on everything after injecting as a type one diabetic. Rubbish. So many clothes ruined!

Sun cream.
Used boots once a day stufff. Everything is covered in orangey brown stains.

I am concerned for the future of the world, our country and my family, not necessarily in that order

I feel no fear in the face of stains. HTH.

FFS @JustineBMumsnet - did you really write this OP? Do you really think that we're all such twee, little, housebound women that we'd be frightened of stains?

How much more patronising could you be?

@BIWI

Oh, @BIWI I am absolutely supporting you, my is for the OP

Whiteboard marker! My dd regularly comes home with blotches of it on her white polo shirt. Juice from oranges and tomatoes.

I did wonder @FinallyHere

Red sauces.
