Here's the sitch,

I had 3 games today on a muddy field. While running around mud splattered onto my knickers, when i got home I put them through a wash, and there's still stains.

Anyone have any suggestions to get my knickers clean.

I know not to use bleach so I don't intend to do that.

Right now they're sitting in a bucket full of water and OxyClean

Cold water.
 
Soak them in cold water as soon as possible for maybe an hour or so. Then wash them in cold water. Depending on the quality of the knickers, they should not stain at all.

Peace

Use one of those stain spray or sticks, that usually works for me.

As soon as i got home, i put them in the wash, then I soaked them for about 2 hours, then i rubbed liquid detergent into the area, then as i'm typing they're back in the wash. They're good quality knickers (honigs). In the past i've gotten mud on them, but this is the first time I haven't been able to get it out.

Rub some "Murphy's Oil Soap" directly into the stains, then wash them as normal but add a cup of Murphy's Oli Soap to the wash. You cam buy Murphy's Oil Soap at all super markets. I once had a pair of knickers that I thought were ruined from mud but a friends wife told me about Murphy's Oil Soap.

Oxyclean works for me but you can't let the mud dry on them, as it makes it difficult to get out even with Oxyclean.

Liberal amount of Shout immediately upon arriving home then spray on some dissolved Oxyclean. Cold or warm wash with a liberal amount of Oxyclean and detergent, NO FABRIC SOFTENER! BTW arent the Honig's knickers great!, best pair I ever owned.

I agree. I one time bought some knickers from another officiating outlet and I will never do that again.

Honig's have the best!!!! Without a doubt.
I've tried them all.
