Perhaps you have the same..<br />1)a combo of washing soda and borax. soak in hot water for a few hours then wash<br />2)Oxyclean laundry additive. Use soap and oxy powder and let it stand after a bit of agitation in the washer-for a few hours. then finish washing.<br />3)CLR(which is bathroom lime and rust cleaner for porcelain stains) mixed 50/50 with water. Wash the same way as the others above after soaking.<br />4)At nursing Uniform shops there is a special whites wash that will make the whites white.<br />5)RIT fabric dye has a colour remover packet too. That will also do it.<br /><br />Do not mix any other products other than soap with the products I named as you do not want to cause a weird reaction.<br /><br />Hope it works.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06905830674998866312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313028.post-410409783469453352009-06-22T12:35:03.492+01:002009-06-22T12:35:03.492+01:00I'm sure Andy looked very fetching in his pink...I'm sure Andy looked very fetching in his pink & blue ensemble!carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02656637287438974853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313028.post-64248795162359446502009-06-22T12:30:22.481+01:002009-06-22T12:30:22.481+01:00Ha ha ha...I do this kind of thing all the time, n...Ha ha ha...I do this kind of thing all the time, never mind eh!<br />Have changed blogs, MRS is no more, new one Hand and I, have linked you there, go take a little look please dear PG<br />http://swimperis.blogspot.comSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14193935968877679533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313028.post-76081861490843826362009-06-20T23:47:33.139+01:002009-06-20T23:47:33.139+01:00I have some Stain grabbers.....you can buy them at...I have some Stain grabbers.....you can buy them at the supermarket....I have them as a just in case as (famous last words) I am anal about washing clothesGigibirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13171021812450232039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313028.post-26684810503086569202009-06-20T11:03:10.550+01:002009-06-20T11:03:10.550+01:00Dylon Colour Run remover does work.

Makes it so much more interested for the assembled fans.<br /><br />I really do love your cricket reports.<br /><br />Thanks for your comment re the Miss R books. Are there still any village schools still around? Probably not.<br /><br />xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313028.post-66426699491889520152009-06-19T14:39:54.766+01:002009-06-19T14:39:54.766+01:00Ohhh tell Andy he looks dashing!
