Bannana Stains
 
Wow Summer sun it must be hot up North,
Can't believe you are growing Bannanas, prob easier than Christmas trees.
Seriously though.
Try the Vanish alternitive from LIDl it's W5 something or other and comes in a tub like Vanish but at 1/4 the price.
Soak the item first for a few hours then wash as norm in the machine with norm detergent and a scoup of W5 stain remover in the drum too.
I use it regularly fro all types of 2 year old type stains- blackcurrant etc etc
I used it reacently on the pillowcases -( was goingto chuck them) and it removed the yellow staining that you get on them with use.
So give it a swaing- Aldi do one too
and hope all is well with you and yours

P.S I have a banana tree growing in a pot albeit small ones as the weather has been crap , also have a few chrimbo trees in pots badly in need of planting into the ground...


You have me thinking of christmas now..... its only 157 days to go and 133 days till i will put my decorations up...

hiya summersun
 
i know this may sound daft, but if its a white/cream colour or something that wouldnt run...use denture tables.

i was looking at how clean is your house and the woman used the denture tablets on the sink.

i've also used them on my bath, its never looked so gleaming lol

i used them recently on a dried in tea stain and was amazed that the stain had gone...i couldnt believe it.

might be worth a try.
i put the tablets inside the tee shirt where the stair was and put a little warm water over it and left for about 10/15 mins.

all the best,

Tas
