Dandelion Juice Stain
« on: July 02, 2017, 14:55:49 »
Does any one know how to remove these from clothes.

I have tried the stuff in the pink tub and lemon juice, but they do not work,

I pick dandelion leaves to feed to my Rhubarb, but now have to ensure I keep the stalks away from my Tshirt.

Call it a gardening T-shirt and add a few more stains  :tongue3: :BangHead: :sunny:

It's all good really .........................

Sorry if it was a good shirt.   I can't get them out either.  Bio washing powder and drying in full sunlight seems to bleach the stains somewhat.

How do you use the leaves, soak them in water?.
If you can't get the stains out try dying a darker colour.  :sunny: :coffee2:
Spring has arrived I am so excited I have wet my PLANTS

I simply throw handfuls of the leaves under the rhubarb.  They act as a mulch and rot down.  Never see them again.   

They are all over the paths and the vacant plots, and will seed so it cuts down on the seeding and feeds the rhubarb so win win.

Found a nice piece on line about a mother whose children liked picking dandelions, and so got it on their clothes.  The suggestion was to plant sun flowers instead.

There has been a small decrease in intensity with Persil small and mighty bio.  But not much.

I think the darker die might be a good solution thanks.
