tomato based stains on clothes

[Jillius]

This isn't a question, I just want to pass a bit of info on to you.........
My daughter got spaghettl bolognese sauce all over her school shirt and as most people know, it's a sod to get out. I washed it in very hot water but the stain didn't shift. I tried stain removers to no avail, so I just ended up hanging it out on the line in the sun. A few hours later when I got my washing in the stain had gone completely.
I'm not sure if it is the sun that bleaches it or what but it works a treat !

brilliant, sun is always good for whites, it takes the greyness out of them!

I wish I'd known years ago. I'd have saved myself a fortune. I've lost count of clothes that I've chucked away !

my football shirt is years old ,1994 i bought it, i wear it once a week, wash it inside out, still good as new

I've ruined that many good shirts by getting kebab juice down them whilst hammered. Whats the cure for getting chicken-shish-donner-mix (with extra mint yoghurt sauce, chilli sauce and branston pickle) stains off?
