Jess, not wanting to be left out has a hoooooooooge tippex splodge on her black school trousers, anyone any tips for that one n'all


I don't reckon chewing gum or tippex should be allowed at school

Freezer. Shove trous in. Chip it off once solid. Repeat if it gets pliable. Eventually you'll get it off.

tippex - hmm used to get thinners which worked well but now it's all non-addictive so supposed to be better. Try acetone (nail varnish remover). Though test on inside hem first in case it reacts with the material!

Chewing gum - yeah, freeze it. Then you can try white spirit or meths for any little ground-in bits, but like MB says, you might want to check colour-fastness. My book also suggests egg-white for washable fabric if the gum's still soft. Just says 'apply' - not how much or for how long!

Dunt mention tippex or correction fluid either... the author obviously never makes mistakes when writing books. Or has a PA to type

thanks girls, good ole mum was given Abbies trousers to sort out coz I haven't got freezer yet, anyway, it worked

off to Wilkos today to will get some white spirit and try the tippexed ones later
