Mrs Hinch fan shares magic £1 spray which gets rid of gross yellow stains on bedding super fast
WE SLEEP on our pillow cases every night of the week, so it makes sense that they would gather stains.
Those pesky yellow marks from sweat and saliva can be tough to shift.
They are especially pronounced on white bedding, which is the popular choice in many households.
Annoyingly a regular detergent can struggle to shift these stains so often you need to bring in the big guns.
One frustrated clean fan took to the Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips and Tricks group on Facebook to ask for advice on getting her white sheets back to white.
Lisa Shoosmith uploaded a picture of her stained pillowcase and said: “Can anyone recommend anything for getting yellow stains off white pillowcases?
“I think it’s a combo of sweat and my husband’s hair gel. Also have yellow stains on some white towels and not a clue what they are, please help! Thank you.”
Fellow Hinch fans flocked to share their insider tip which included using the inexpensive Elbow Grease spray.

Another said: “Spray Elbow Grease and leave for five to 10 minutes and give it a light scrub before putting in wash on a bedding cycle. The marks will vanish.”
While another said: “Omg my husbands are the same, I think its oily skin – it’s disgusting. Just give it a spray down with Elbow Grease and the stain will be gone after a wash cycle.”
