Stain on blouse - help!
Unusually, last night, I ate dinner in my decent clothes as I was going out afterwards.Like a total pleb, I spilled tomato pasta down a pale blue blouse which failed to come out, as I suspected.
It is now unwearable. Anyone know how to remove a tomato stain from polyester?
Thanks all

You can put a scoopful in the wash or make a solution and hand wash your blouse in it, I find it very good. You can get them from the Supermarket there are several different brands I think they are all good.It should tell you on the tub if you can use on delicates I have had no problems.

When i worked at the fashion house, we had an elderly Polish lady that dealt with all the alterations and repairs, including stain removal, she used milk for EVERYTHING.
You need to let it soak and the more "off" the milk is the better it works (apparently)
I have never actually tried it though

Said skanky garment currently languishing in 2 litres of water/4 scoops of the stuff. Either the stain will come out, or the blouse will disintegrate.....
I'll post results later
