    Green Food Dye

    Does anyone have a sure fire way to get green food dye off clothing. I somehow managed to get it on my fave cardigan over the weekend. Have already washed it in Napisan and Preen stain remover and dried it in the sun but no success.

    Cardigan is made of a viscose/nylon/angora blend.

    TIA!

    Green and red food dyes are the hardest colour to remove - I had to replace some carpet a couple of years ago from the stuff.

    Hopefully Rouge will see this cos she is the stain Goddess herself.

    Will the fabric allow it to be soaked? If you google it they suggest adding white vinegar to the mix. However they also suggest ammonia - which is not something you want to try if it's a colour.

    What about some dye-away stuff from the laundry aisle at the supermarket?
