I have the exact solution you are looking for.

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!!

Well you've made Andy a happy man, along with any other bloke you meet whilst wearing it Have you tried one of the stain remover bottles that does different stains depending on what caused it?

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

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

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.
