Sometimes, when you're eating and you or your kids drop food down your front, it can be a really stressful five minutes trying to wonder how to get the stain out - especially if the top in question is white or the food is something bright in colour like spaghetti bolognese.
One stressed mum took to the Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips Facebook group to ask a question many parents will struggle with when their kids spill food on themselves.
She wrote: "Everyone - any advice on how to get tomato pasta sauce or tomato-based sauces out of children's clothes? I'm constantly having to Chuck away clothes, I've tried normal oxi stuff and soaking it in a bucket with detergent and also white vinegar but nothing is working!"
