    Stain in Washed Clothes

    I have two 1.0 tog grobags that DS uses that a friend lent me. After washing one I realised I'd missed a stain (I think its fresh peach juice so the stain is a pink colour) and it seems to be 'washed in' now. I washed it again after spraying it with White King Stain remover but its still there. I can't return them to her in this condition, but cant really afford to buy a new grobag either, any hints as to how to get it out?

    Hang it out in the sun. The UV light from the sun will break down the colour in food stains. At the end of the day should be gone like magic.

    At this time of day it might not be enough - if it's not gone by the evening put it out again tomorrow morning.

    I got it out - after a few days in the sun and another 24 hour soak in napisan after spraying it again with stain remover all the stains are gone - I definately agree that the sun broke it down so the stain removers where then more effective!!

    Thanks heaps for the tips Curly and Whoops, you've saved me having to replace the grobags, and they are not cheap!!
