Top tips on getting the most use from school uniforms (1/2)

Many parents will know the feeling of when their child comes home from school with stains all over their clothes, so here are some tips on getting them out.

With ink stains the key is to spray it with hairspray first and then blot over the area with a paper towel.

However, if it’s a Biro pen instead, then these stains can be removed if you lightly soak the item of clothing in some milk. 

Moving on to crayon stains parents can try freezing the fabric first, this will harden the crayon and then you should be able to scrape off any excess crayon. Once this is done, turn on an iron at a medium heat setting.

While it’s heating up, put a paper towel on top of and underneath the stained area and gently press the warm iron over it. Hopefully, it should move the stain onto the paper towel instead.
