Neat persil left on clothes
Discussion
girlfriend has screwed me over and poured neat persil on my clothes.
Probably been left for a week so well soaked in.
Anyone have any ideas how to get it out? I have been using neat water and an old tooth brush and it has removed most of the staining but there is still a baby blue stain left behind.

There's your problem, best to dilute it.Persil Works in much the same way as Vanish Oxi- in that it creates foam/micro bubbles within the fabric when wet, lifting the dirt. This is caused by the chemical reaction in the (now wet) powder/paste formula with the oxygen naturally found in water, the tumbling of the washing machine increases the air volume in the water, im the same way that you have an air pump in a fish tank.
If you add oxygenated water to the mix, it will lather up, but the colour within the powder will remain. Ideally you will either need to take it to a dry cleaners (where they use tetrachloroethylene, instead of water as the cleaning liquid) or use water that you have boiled in the kettle twice, leaving to stand still. Boiling the water reduces the amount of oxygen and particulates in it, giving it the different taste when you drink cooled boiled water. This will dilute the dye used within the powder, but will not cause the active cleaning ingredient to react.
If you have any more Q's about it post em up and i'll try my best to answer them for you.
Hope this helps

So I should boil the kettle twice and try cleaning with that water? when its cooled down?
