Help!
How do I get grease stains from out of my hoodie? I'm so fucked off I have only had it a week. I have put my hoodie in the washing machine but the stains are still on it once the washer had finished.
Any ideas please it was my favorite top

have you got any vanish stain remover, or anything similar? if you do, put it in now.
Dunno, hand wash it? Have a rake in your cupboards and see if there's any anti-stain thingies.
Yeah. I put some of that on when I put it in the washing machine yesterday. It hasn't worked though, there is still a big grease mark on my hoodie.
I wasn't really going for the grease monkey look.
Can you get to a supermarket tomorrow and get some stain devil stuff? I just worry it might be a bit late. Perhaps if you soak the top in water overnight, in the sink/bath?
i knew you would be in here as soon as you saw 'stains' in the title!
Calvin has not yet come back to and posted in this thread, which probably means he hasn't had chance to read your suggestion. I am sure he will take it on board when he sees it.
Think i will give the stain remover stuff ago tomorrow, if not it could be a new hoodie for me
I have made a note of all the tips guys :thumb:
You and icey should be comedy duo
Did you have that link stored in your favorites Bri ?
Vanish is goood I always find .. what colour is your hoodie ?
Blue & grey stripes
Fucked then. You need high pressure steam and a vacuum table. Find a dry cleaners that do stain removal.
You don't need to apologise for everything, it's unneccesary.
But on a different note...blue and grey? You sure someone didn't ruin it on purpose?
I don't mean to sound harsh but saying sorry all the time is annoying.
Lol yeah you can, just stop saying sorry.
No cos my way of dealing with it would to have put the hoodie at the bottom of my laundry bin so it was out of site and I would forget about it.
You catch on quick
If it's white, use H²O² (hydrogenperoxide), if not... umm...
try some "stains-b-gone" doo doo from your local market.
The sun has a pretty good bleaching ability too. put it into the sun for a while, while wet.
I read somewhere that it's better to remove blood with cold water rather than hot water, as hot water makes it stick more. or something :chin:
although the blood'll be easier to get out than the wine probably!
Washing up liquid won't work if the hoodie has been tumble dried. If it has been tumble dried then nowt will work, really, as the heat has set the stain.
As for red wine and blood, apparently white wine is good for the red wine stain (don't really know though as I don't drink red wine
