Sometimes, you can be scrubbing and washing, and the stain just doesn't seem to come out, but one laundry expert has shared ways to keep school uniforms looking fresher for longer. Deyan Dimitrov of Laundryheap has recommended making a DIY stain remover, shared how swapping fabric softener for white vinegar can be beneficial, and why avoiding the tumble dryer could be better for the uniform - and your pocket. Deyan suggested making your own stain remover "easily" by using "2/3 cup of baking soda and mixing this with 1/2 cup of white vinegar." He said: "Apply the paste to any stains and scrub them thoroughly with a damp cloth or microfibre towel. After five minutes, rinse with cold water and the stain should have disappeared. If the stain is persistent, the paste can be left for an additional 10 minutes. This will ensure that it penetrates the fibres of the fabric." He also said: "Using too much fabric softener can actually cause materials to fade and feel rough as residues build-up on your children's uniforms. A great homemade alternative to softener is white vinegar. This can be bought cheaply from a supermarket or even found in the back of your kitchen cupboard. It works exactly the same as a softener, whilst also removing any unwanted stains and odours. Don't worry about the acidic smell of the vinegar itself - this will neutralise as your clothes rinse in the washing machine!" White vinegar can be purchased from Tesco for as little as 29p. He said washing at a lower temperature may also work to "prolong a fabric's lifespan and save you money in the long ru){kind=link}

As children go back to school this week, it’s a given that their pristine white shirts will soon be mucky as anything, and you’ll be desperately trying to get the stains out whilst wondering how on earth they’ve managed to mess them up so badly already.
