bgmum:Mrs bongz. I will use bleach and leave it for a few hours before washing. Stains not completely removed sometimes but will be lighter. Takes me a few cycles of washing to completely removed. I also have trouble with thread runs on the pe t shirt. They look unsightly like patches on the tshirt.
My son is to graduate from PHPP this year soon. Look back his days in Primary School, I may feel a bit guilty myself. I did not pay special attention to his uniforms. A new set may get a few stains within 2 months. I bleach, but it looks still dirty. I can feel my son feel a bit embarrassed sometimes about his stained shirts, pants and shoes especially when there are new teachers or exchange students coming to visit the school. I have a tender heart to my son when he tries to keep his best shirt and pant for some special events like oral test although he can not prevent himself to soil his clothes as he is bit clumsy or rough to handle objects.
We may not have a lot of super high score students, but a very sizable group of students with above average scores.
