    You put it IN the washing machine with the hope that it would be stained??

    I'd suggest an immediate reappraisal of your expectations of your white goods.

    You'll be gutted when the oven DOESN'T freeze yer dinner

    Haven't bought the mint strip because I dont like it but I would have soaked it overnight before washing it because of the stains. Use vanish powder along with your washing powder/liquid and wash it inside out at 30 degrees with a slow spin - no more than 1000 but 800 would do.

    Pale strips are a flaming nightmare! Yellow socks gave me nightmares when my son played for one team.

    I know its a bit late, sorry.

    My mate had the same problem with his kids strip. Took it back to the shop and got it replaced.

    I saw the strip in the flesh, so to speak, for the first time the other night. I think its totally bogging and already looks cheap and washed out, I'm not pretending otherwise. My wife thought the wee boy was wearing his old washed out jimjams!

    I'd be more concerned about your broken PC to be honest. Clearly the full stop key is damaged, or missing all-together.

    Saying that why would you want to stain a new(ish) football top in the first place?
