I am not sure about grown up sweat, but my sons mattress had some urine stains on it and I rinsed it with warm soapy water, then again with a solution of water soluble lavender oil and water. Then left it in direct sunlight for a good few hours and the stains disappeared........
My favourite pants of DDs got stained but I don't know with what lol. It looks like permanent marker and oil but I have no idea how either of those things would have gotten onto them. I've tried soaking them in nappy-san, applying oxy-action dual-action stuff, orange power, nothing works. Is it too late to try some of the methods here?
Nee, I'd try them all anyway..........you've nothing to lose!
For the grease, try the oil/washing up liquid trick.
Then for the marker, try acetone.
Ok, I need hints on how to get crayon out of carpet! I tried ironing it on the lowest setting, and it melted the carpet and didnt touch the crayon!
Hi all,
I just removed blue Gel pen from my walls with aerosol Hairspray. You spray it on and as it bubbles the ink starts to run and then you wipe it off with a damp cloth! Worked a dream, after I had tried several other options- unsuccesfully!
How do you get baby vomit stains and smell out of carpet?
Bi carb and if it is really bad watered down vinegar with it ;) leave it to dry and then vaccuum. It will make that spot MUCH cleaner and show up any dirt in the rest of the carpet though. Alternatively you could ask mum if you can borrow her vax and wash the carpet with jasol. I did that a few times when Sarah was little.
I ended up using a carpet cleaner spray and it's much better.
I hope one of you has a brilliant idea to help me with my stain problem.
DD found a blue biro and played with it while i was cleaning up the kitchen. She managed to break the tip off and the ink went all over my new TV bench. It's a white laminated Ikea one. I cleaned the excess off with just warm water and then I tried Cerapol (Ceramic Cooktop Cleaner) which seems to work on a lot of things without scratching them). That didn't work, so I tried Jiff, but I didn't want to rub too hard as I was scared I might scratch the surface and make it all matt. So that was not a success either. It looks to me that the pen has actually stained the laminate rather than the colour just sitting on top of it, IYKWIM.
Any ideas???

Try eucalyptus oil
Ok, I have some here, will give it a go and report back
Bugger, it was Tea Tree I have here, not Eucalyptus. Will have to go and get some tomorrow.
Help! DD loves banana so it's now getting on everything, especially clothes (hers and mine), bibs and the cloth flats I use for general mess defence. But I didn't realise that banana stains! How can I get rid of banana stains?
Need help for nectarine stains here. Have tried all my usual tricks.
Not sure but sun may work for nectarine and banana, after a wash. Otherwise they may need the Napisan.

I've tried napisan and sun ... faded but didn't get rid of it.... will have to soak things as soon as they get splatted! thanks guys
