    Not sure where to post this...

    My boyfriend's high-vis jacket got dirt on it, and after putting it through the washing machine, it hasn't come off. I presume it's because of the material or something.

    Anyone any ideas how to get it off? :confused:

    what did he get on it, should it be asked o.0.
    usually you can just wipe of most dirt.

    did you try and of the stain remover type things ?
    read up what kind of stains the remover does, and match to what you have (oil-based or water-based)

    It was it the boot of a car which might suggest it's a kind of oil-substance. It doesn't seem to budge when I wipe it.

    I don't have any decent stain removers in the house, I'll have to go to the shops tomorrow I guess

    I have a vague recollection of seeing Kim and Aggie cleaning a high vis by wetting it and then using a bar of soap directly on it.

    Yep soap or fairy liqiuid or any kind of a de greaser you have in the kitchen will work and scrub the fabric off itself using your hands. You may have to do that a few times and it should come up clean. Pain in the butt to clean them things. Think I just used to use fairy liquid or dettol de-greaser on em and let it soak in for a bit before giving it a good scrub

    Ahhh it's the Lidl W5 Kitchen de-greaser spray (in an orange bottle) or swarfegga hand wash gel I used to clean them with, they are both brill at getting oil and grease off things!!!
