Viewers of This Morning on Thursday were left amazed when 'Queen of Clean' Lynsey Crombie revealed a cleaning hack that can get stains out of school uniforms.
When a pen bursts or leaks in a pocket, it can seem like a lost cause trying to remove the colour from clothing.
Parents and carers will be well aware of the pain of washing clothes multiple times only for the stains to remain.

Luckily, Crombie revealed a trick that can get rid of the ink — and all that's required is milk.
Speaking on the show, she said: "I have tested this. I wouldn't bring the tip on if it didn't work.
"You just need to dip it in the [glass of] milk. Leave it overnight if you can. I don't know the science behind it, but milk is made up of about 80 per cent water and 20 per cent fats. The fats break the ink down."
One amazed viewer rushed to share the information in the Cleaning tips and tricks Facebook group, writing: "Just seen this on this morning. To remove pen from school uniform use full fat milk. Leave to soak in it for 2 hours then wash as normal."
