Butter on linen!

Recommended Posts

I just put my cross stitch down on the table for a minute and DD2 and DS, not sure which, buttered toast and dropped two lumps of butter on the linen! I put a blob of washing up liqiud on the greasy marks and put it in the machine with hand wash liquid. The greasy marks are still there! Next I put it on a normal 40 wash with powder and still it is marked. What now? I'm loathe to start again and loose two months work!

I find that heavy grease marks on cotton can be removed with Swarfega, the gel used by car mechanics on their oily hands, even if I have washed and dried the item first. I have never tried it on linen however, but maybe you could gently massage a small blob onto the marks and then wash in the normal way. The smell will be present after washing but it will disappear after drying.

Thank you for your advice. I put washing up liquid on it again and left it for an hour then rewashed it and hey presto no more greasy marks. :D

 

I am behind schedule for it though!!! ME in January, should have had RR in February and Y in March! I thought doing a bit every month would mean by October it will be finished ready for framing!!! Best laid plans huh?
