Help! Big stain on wool/cashmere coat

2 replies

I just randomly noticed a massive stain at the bottom of my camel coat. It's from M&S and I think 80% wool, 10% cashmere and 10% something else. It's well dried in and doesn't look recent but I swear it wasn't there when I last wore it a week ago. Could be muddy water, could be coffee, really not sure.

I ideally need to bring this coat with me tomorrow when I go away for work for a few days, but it's really noticeable! And obviously I'm not going to find a dry cleaner open at 6pm on a Sunday that will have it ready by 10am tomorrow when I need to leave.

What could I do to remove it at home without destroying the coat? It's on its last legs and needs replaced but I'm trying to hold off to get the rest of Spring out of it as I'm losing weight so don't want to ruin it.

when I got a mystery stain on my coat I cleaned it with dr Beckmann carpet cleaner / spot stain remover. I bought on vinted so I thought worth a go and it came up fine. Similar blend of wool / cashmere / poly something.

Ooh Dr Beckmans is a good shout. We only have the pet stain one at the moment but it might work. I've never found a carpet stain yet that Dr Beckmans couldn't shift, it's magic stuff.
