As the weather is turning into nasty winterish, time to get the jumpers out - all were clean when packed away not that long ago heheehehe & my white jumpers/tops have turned into yellow tinged patches in places - quite a few in fact:(

How come & what causes it & can i get it back white again without bleach soaking as some has print on it:confused: :confused: :confused:

It's just because you are a dirty b**ch and never wash or clean anything ;) :D :p

Well that what Tinks just pm'd me anyway.
 
Like me Miss Mel you smoke.


Use poly bags to keep whites clean whilst they are in storage.
 
Try Ace in your wash........it is a bleach but it can be used on colours......failing that try Acdo Glo-white. Bicarbonate of soda in the wash is good for restoring whites too....you need a good couple of tablespoons in each load. Hope this helps.

The ancient Romans used cat urine to restore the whiteness in their togas. Try it and see.

No such thing as smoke free if you're a ciggie smoker. Sealable poly bags are the only way trust me.;)

'Fraid Garindas probably correct here Accymel, mine do that in the bedroom where I smoke :rolleyes: Wardrobe in spare bedroom, still perfect whites after a whole season.

I find never need any type of treatment, usually washes out easily in normal detergents, even colour care products. Let me know how you go on, can always ask our Laundry technician at work if ya struggling, he knows all about stains, etc., having to advise customers on curry, wine, grease, milldew and so forth, on table linen. When we do tests, guess which stains still show traces... make-up !! Scares me what I am putting on me face everyday. :eek:

Course ya' could always try givin up smoking .. tee hee. 'Do as I say, not do as I preach' springs to mind, here. :D

Following on from Kate's stain tales....

I had Roger Moore's girlfriend, now wife, Christina Tholstrup, shouting at me that some shirts we had made had terrible stains on the collar.

It had happened before, and as I explained to her predecessor, it was hair dye. She screamed down the phone that he didn't dye his hair!


Presumably after a little chat between them, she phoned back later to appologise.:)
