Hi my son got some new jeans - after the 1st wash I'd put them on the radiator to dry.

When I've come to remove them the white radiator has turned a shade of blue where they were !!!!!! I've tried to wipe it off with various detergents - it is only dye from the jeans but it wont come off!!

Does anyone know of something that will do the trick to remove it!!!

I'm hopeless at stain removal!!!

Had a quick Google - WD40 (http://www.wd40.com.au/List/list.html) might do the trick. Worth a shot - seems to remove a lot of stains.

You could try this , I suppose it might work just as well on enamel paint.......

Refrigerators
To clean exterior and interior walls, dissolve 2 tbs. baking soda in 1 qt warm water and wipe all surfaces. For stubborn spots, rub with baking soda paste. Be sure to rinse with a clean, wet cloth. (This works well on other enamel-finished appliances as well.)

good luck !!
