Stupidly picked the bike up on the chainring side and got a chainring imprint on the white part of my bibshorts, any way to get rid of it?

    The (Persil I think?) washing gel we use comes with a purple little bubble to fill and drop in the washing machine with it. Anyway, at the bottom of said bubble is a load of bumps and dots, supposed to be for rubbing onto dirt. Lo and behold it works with chain gunk. Squirted Persil some onto my jersey, rubbed it hard with the rough side of the bubble thing for a few minutes and stain was cleared, into the washing machine and carried on, came out good.

    Cheers grill, annoying thing is I have 4 pairs of black bibs, but my faves are the zipvit ones! Which are white and blue!

    Fairy liquid on an old (clean) toothbrush. Brush well into the stain then put a few drops of water on it and brush some more. Rinse and repeat as necessary.
    Works for me. ;0)

    White spirit on area, wipe it all off and then wash out in a sink of warm water.

    Works for me.

    Dissolve the grease with Swarfega before washing. I am always printing on my gear with chainrings and that shifts it.

    Baby wipe it off and use oven cleaner. Works a treat in our bike shop.
