    Pollen on clothes.

    Ok so last night DH is wearing one of his fave shirts around the house whilst doing odd jobs...I warned him to take it off but of course he knows better. So what happens, he ends up with pollen from a some lillium flowers on his shirt, and not just a little bit either.

    I preened it immediately and soaked it. It was washed this morning and the pollen didnt come out. So I have resoaked and re-preened it but it still looks like it is on the shirt. And of course it is all my fault for asking him to move the vase of flowers!

    So anyway any other suggestions on how to get the stupid stain out?

    TIA.

    OK, too late for this right now. Next time, get sticky tape onto the pollen straight away - don't touch it! The sticky tape will lift most of it off.
    Meanwhile, I have a top that I did this to and it's fine now, but I can't remember what I did, except use lavender pre-soak and then washed it.
