Hello folks. Just wondering if youve got any tips for a friend of mine
(who will remain anonymous, god bless him) whos having a lot of bother
cleaning the gussets of underwear that hes made a terrible mess of? Its a
toxic brew of bodily expulsions that he just cant shift no matter what he
tries and his wife is spending a fortune on replacing her ruined drawers,
its really putting a strain on their benefits and cutting into his
drinking money. Any pointers you can give for getting his scuds back to
wearable condition will be appreciated and Ill pass them all on to him.

Cheers!

A many day soak in bio washing powder eats away almost anything. Bleach does too, but bleach destroys cotton. Though I'm not seeing why an overnight presoak would not result in a clean wash in a machine.

Agreed about bio washing powder. But what did young mums do decades

whites coming out grey? go for a 90C wash
