Ouma knows best
I won’t lie, I’m really wondering why white is allowed in sport clothing because of how hard it is to remove the mud and grass stains.
Last week, it rained and so Hamish’s rugby team practiced in the rain resulting in a practice shirt that looked like the poster child for Peppa Pigs song muddy puddles .
Naturally, I had to wash Hamish practice and game shirts this weekend and honestly my normal wash routine of throwing it all in the washing machine and praying for the best wasn’t working.
I needed something with a bit of a stain removal miracle because burning the shirts at this point wasn’t an option.
Ouma Hanna to the rescue
I got this sample of Ouma Hannah se Boereseep from Good Life Show Africa last month and I’m officially not using anything else to remove the stains.
It worked like a dream!
A quick soak and a few scrubs later and his shirts are once again shiny.
Proof that Ouma truly did know best.
