tomato stain on White

Snowie

:mad:


Ive washed this hoodie 3 times with vanish oxi (intelgent fancy stuff ) action and that new ariel excel but i cant get it out im washing it at 30 ????

OldGoat

Try soaking the hoodie in warm water with some detergent and some vinegar in a basin. White vinegar, about a couple of tablespoons. Leave it soaking for half hour and then wash it as normal. That works well on a fresh stain, not so sure how it will work on an old stain though.

Snowie

The stains is from Friday. Il give that ago its on its forth wash .... I heard leon juice was good so i used that and the oxi action form booth sides so maybe that would work but your idea is up next .... Thank you .

OldGoat

Lemon juice or vinigar should do the same thing. The acids help to break down the stain but CAN damage the material if you over do it.

Dump the hoodie and get a shirt & jacket instead. :cool:

The Vanish Bar used to work for me. Dampen the stain and rub it on before the wash, try it with some salt if you like.

I dunno its got a red stitching in it, So theres a possibility of it running

If all else fails there's a stain devil bottle out there for everything, might be better than risking material damage.

i got tomato puree on a baby blue hoodie before, tried everything and now there a faded spot where it got stained

if you are worried about colour runs use a colour catcher sheet thing in your wash, i doubt the stitching in the hoody would run but then again ya never know

thats what happened to me I was making spag bol and the tomoto purey in a squirty thing went broad side and attacked my hoodie :mad::(...

Ok whats a colour catcher ? Its really red the stitching...

OldGoat

Tomato attack! When good tomatos go bad. Next time wear an apron.:D

Those colour catcher are sheets of absorbant fabric that you put into your washer with your clothes and they are supposed to soak up any dyes that run in the wash thus keeping the dyes from getting into your other clothes. I'm still skeptical about them.

Have you given up on the hoodie yet? Ready to get that jacket and try on some shoes? As mentioned above I think your only option to clean the hoodie now is a hot or a boil wash and risk shrinking or distorting it.

I can't believe I'm willing a hoodie to survive! My tailor may never talk to me again.

If i get any stains on clothes i use Mr Muscle Kitchen :pac:.My mother swears by the stuff for taking stains out of clothes and you know what shes right.Treat the stain with a few sprays either side ( give it a couple of mins) before you put it in a regular wash with the powder and it never fails, zero impact on the material too.
Its certainly worth a try the only problem i see is that you've already ran it through a few washes.Sure if it fails you can always clean your kitchen and use your hoody to wipe it down.:P

Maybe avoid the trough when your wearing the goodie hoodie, also avoid pints+kebabs, eating with your elbows and diving into the plate - face first.

you Have to let us know what happens with this in the end!

Have you ever used this on delicate fabrics? I've got a stain on a top that's really light and somewhat delicate cotton that I can't get out. I'm not ready to give up on the top but I've tried everything and nothing's worked1!

Hang it out in the sun for about 2 days, worked for me on loads of white stuff, Im a very messy eater.

If there was any oil in the tomato then that is waht is causing he satin to remain, if so you need to dilute the oil in some way or waht the pros call "reactivate it". Theire is a stain remover for that but I dont know what it is

Seeing as Snow-Monkey got so many good replys fromm you lovely people may I be so bold as to ask...do any of you know how to get Lucozade (the horrible bright orange one) out of a pale green carpet? I tried Vanish Carpet thingy but no good And....it's not my carpet!!

I know it's not a clothing item so shouldn't be in here but...If we have to replace the carpet I won't have any money for clothes or make-up for years!!!! :eek:
