Washing white canvas runners (Guinness soaked!!)

Hi Folks,
I knocked a full pint of Guinness over a pair of white canvas runners on Paddy’s day.

Boo urns!

Anyhoo, how do I get these wearable again.

I’m not looking for Joe Jackson’s door step challenge white:

Just decent to wear out.

Thanks in advance Folks.

rub a load of that vanish stuff onto them then wrap them into a pillow case and throw them in the washing machine 30 degrees wash,cant go wrong

I would hand wash them first to remove the heavy stains, they should come out. Don't use any bleach.
Then stick them in the washing machine at a low heat cycle and that should do the job.

this sounds VERY weird but worked a charm on my white keds! Get baking soda and mix it with 7up to create a paste, rub it onto slightly damped runner and leave for a while then scrub it with a hand scrub! I remember finding it online years ago and feeling like a loola but really does work! I find washing maschines make them go yellow and fall to pieces

after you wash them using the advice above, dry them indoors. Sunlight can turn them yellow for some reason

Thanks for all your advice Folks.

Now, anyone got any info on cleansing a Guinness soaked liver

All the best,
