Cows hit (laundry advice needed :-( )

Don't worry, people don't really care what you look like out on the road. Online it's a different story. You will need to carefully Photoshop any stains out of social media photographs.

Like WD40, white spirit is good for oily marks, maybe less so in this case.

White vinegar, perhaps in conjunction with baking soda, can be good for other grimy marks.

Really good for getting most stains out (provided it hasn't been cooked in to place first:

In a bucket put one scoop (normal amount for a load of washing) and hafl fill with hot water direct from tap (about 60deg). Add 1 measure of sard, or oxyclean or similar. Put your jersey in to soak for an hour or so (I don' think the time is that important) and then put through your normal wash. This gets most things including grease out. NB, WD40 will get grease / oil based stains out, but generally not organic based ones. 

Low temperature washes are rubbish for getting stains out, despite the BS about 30 and 40C being hot enough to wash your kit it's often not enough to remove stains even with the best detergent.

If it's cow shit (or pretty much most organic splashes) next time, soak it in cold water first asap, nothing else, then try a bit of oxyclean (Or other proprietary stuff) if you can get hold of some.

Worse thing to do is simply wash it as this can often 'set' the stain into the garment.

Good thread - wish I could bookmark it.

My tip for stinkiness is white vinegar - I've resurrected a few pieces which were bound for the bin. I usually spray it on underarms and pads, leaving it to soak for 30 mins before washing. It doesn't do much for most stains though.

"Grandma's Secret Spot Remover" is the stuff, via Google unless you get lucky. Extraordinarily good at getting rid of spots and chain oil on cycling gear (and anything else for that matter)

I've had stains on white sections of bubs and jerseys from cows hit and sun protection oils a few times, and the stain remover setting on our washing machine tends to get them out with just the usual non-bio powder and nothing else. They're in there for a couple of hours at 30°c but it's not failed me yet!

I once got dirty chain grease on a brand new waterproof jacket and also could not get the stain out.  After multiple washes I'd pretty much accepted it was there to stay.  I read that WD40 can remove stains so sprayed some on, left it to soak and put it in a normal wash.  It totally removed the whole stain!

May I refer you to Rule #5  ?
