While mixing up some red envirodye into glyphosphate I have ended up with a couple of spots on my clothing. I have been told it will not come out. Is there anything you suggest that I try to remove it without destroying my shirt/trousers? Regards Ian

Started strong with well grounded statements about the instability in UV. Then bottomed out with the Preen remark. How Preen going to remove dye?
Answer: it oxidises it
Well, if it’s the stuff I think it is, you have nothing to worry about. That dying is specifically designed to be unstable in sunlight. That’s why councils use it. They can see where they have sprayed from the immediate effect, but after a day or two the colour fades. Otherwise, we have coloured cement all over the verges. So you’ll probably find that hanging your clothes on the line in the sunlight will do the job. But, you could try preen Oxy action as a spot cleaner if you want to remove it quicker than that.
