I'm sure one of you will have a solution for me.
I decided to wear a red jumper/tunic on Christmas Day and, in retrospect, should have worn black! I managed to splash juice/fat on the front of it while carving the turkey. I scrubbed that area with washing up liquid and stain remover and washed it but the greasy mark was still visible. So yesterday morning I put it in a solution of stain removing powder and left it to soak. 24 hours later I put it in the washing machine. The marks are still there.
Has anyone any ideas as to what I could try now, on a grease mark that has been through a washing machine cycle twice and yet is still there? I've splashed stuff on a top before, using the same method I tried on this one, and the marks have always come out before. I really don't want to throw it away but if I don't get the marks out then I could only use the top for gardening or decorating ............ and it's a favourite one.
Thanks in anticipation .............. and yes, I know I should have worn an apron.

Maybe that's why it didn't come out.
............. unless I put an apron on my Christmas list.
