Calling all nans, grannies and even grandads, mums and dads....help
Does anyone know a good remedy for getting black felt-tip pen out of a white cotton top, my four year old grandson came home last night from school, I thought they must be sending kids up chimneys again!
he wears a white polo top with the school insignia on as part of his uniform, I have steeped it in Vanish overnight, rubbed with salt, even boiled it like we used to do with terry nappies, on top of the stove......nowt, still there! help!!!1

Can you get a Stain Devil from the supermarket?

Failing that, can you not colour the rest of it in black felt tip? (Sorry!)

barmaid....you are right on form today.....are you having a visitor this weekend ? LOL

[sqad617]

Have just asked mrs sqad and she agrees with Barmaid.

[Barmaid]

No Sqad, he's in Spain. The t!t.

[sqad617]

Pity......cus you seem "hot".

[ummmm]

Funny you should say that BM. My daughter tipped cooking oil on her brand new clothes. So I soaked the rest of them in oil....washed...hey presto...no stain.

[Barmaid]

lol Sqad.

Ummm - actually its not so daft. My ex husband accidentally pierced a tinned haggis in my kitchen and splattered the wall with haggis fat. I suggested that if he couldn't get the fat off, he should just do the other walls so it matched. The sod did.

[Joy11]

that would be a lot easier than the steeping process barmaid lol

[craft1948]

being the perfect mother I would .................... use it as a duster and buy him a new one......

[Joy11]

I would too, I am doing my daughters washing for her as her machine zonked out and the new one cometh on Tuesday, y'know us Grannies, never give in till it's done lol

Joy,
Spray it with hairspray two or three times, then wash it.
