Re: Washing help required
Lay the garment down on a flat surface, gently stretch it until the stained area is easily visible.
Get a pair of sharp scissors and cut the stained section of material away - being careful to avoid contaminating other parts of the garment (don't want to completely ruin it!!!
Wash and hang to dry as normal - you will note that there is no longer a stain in the affected area....
No need to thank me!!

Thank You both. I'll try the Vinegar now and see how I go. If not it'll be a trip to the detergent aisle for me tonight.

Re: Washing help required
try an eye make up remover but not one that is for waterproof make up as it will most likey leave a greasy mark.

Re: Washing help required
I still say removing the stained areas with scissors is the only way to ensure that the stain is 100% removed!!!

Re: Washing help required
Try putting a little washing up liquid on it. Make sure you DONT use the green type (it can stain if it drys) use a yellow colour. Leave it for a while but don't let it dry and then wash in your machine as usual.
It's always worked for me.
