Hairspray is very good for removing marker pen stains.

I hear that the Army & Navy stores in Inverness do a really good line in strait-jackets. lol

[brandy]

*laughs* hun next time try baby wipes first .. it will take the worst of it off usually... without the smell... just have to get that last bit off!
and cream cleaner usually does the rest.. also toothepaste is great for removing stauns without the smell.
all i can suggest right now is soapy water for the smell!!
good luck!

So here I am with a houseful of smallish boys - OK teenagers - celebrating a birthday. Mrs J4bberw0ck had the incredible good sense to find an excuse to go out for a while, leaving me to make cheeseburgers, chips and all the usual garbage kids love to eat. Success, except while grilling the burgers I needed to pour excess fat out of the grill pan...... it was going well until a burger dropped into it and splattered hot fat on the floor (sorted) the cooker (sorted) and my cotton polo shirt (not sorted). It it had been red, you might think I'd been machine-gunned across the abdomen. :roll:

I doubt if hairspray, baby wipes or WD40 are the answer but the combined stain-removal expertise in here seems awesome. Has anyone got a magic bullet for getting fat stains out of cotton, please? Thank you!

Spray it with cilit bang and shove it in the machine, works for me, either that or put brown paper above and below and iron, this should help to soak it up.

Hope this helps:D

[Billy Boy]

use a paper towel to blot out as much as you can then apply baking soda or talcum powder or cornstarch rub it gently and then let it sit for 15/30 minutes to allow it to absorb more grease brush the powder off and check the stain you might have to repeat the process if there is a lot on it

[j4bberw0ck]

Thanks, folks! Away to find some talcum powder and Cillit Bang.......... :lol:

[Naefearjustbeer]

try putting brown wrapping paper on it and then run a hot iron over the paper the iron should melt the grease and the paper should soak it up.

Happy birthday to the Leo child.

Dish washing liquid with a little water and an old tooth brush to work it in might do it. Let it sit for awhile then wash in the laundry.

[j4bberw0ck]

Happy birthday to the Leo child.

Thanks, Canuck. This one's a real Leo.... :roll:

Good kid though :D

[MadPianoPlayer]

well i heard milk is very good for taking milk off o things. Try that.

[Ricco]

Milk is very good for getting ink (not Biro) out of clothing - just soak for an hour or two.

[Billy Boy]

milk is also great for cleaning the bottom of an iron of you happen to burn what you are ironing:roll:

[Billy Boy]

maybe we should ask niall to start a whole new section on stain removal ;)

Outstanding result - thanks changilass. Didn't have any Cillit Bang so used a good spray of "Armor All Multi Purpose Cleaner" which I originally bought from a car spares shop to clean my bike with. When I looked closely at the list of things it claims to do / clean it said it could be used as a "laundry pretreatment for grease removal". It wouldn't have occurred to me to put that stuff near clothes.

You live and learn. :D
