My local hardware shop has a whole range of stain removers for specific stains (too many lol). When my DD got whiteboard marker on her school shirt I was lost for the choice - removers for biro, felt pen, marker pen etc! But they work - worth a look (woolies used to do them too - they may still online?)

Dylon do a good range (more general) too - try their website - http://www.dylon.co.uk/products/stain-removers/

hth,

Hiya

I would suggest trying

Vanish or biological washing powder and a good long hot soak, then a decent hot wash

Whites you could use glowhite to bring them up nicely

Hang everything on the line- if it gets rained on and dries 3 times so much the better, sunlight is an awesome stain remover

Above all, never tumbledry anything that is still stained, and try to pretreat nasty stains
