Lilly pollen stain

Hi my daughter has got lilly pollen stain on some of her clothes.... does anyone know how to get rid of it please? thanks in advance twinny

Dab at it with sellotape DO NOT rub at it then I usually use some Vanish .I find that works . I sell flowers and lily pollen is an occupational hazard lol

Whatever you do, do not add water to it as this will set the stain.

It if has not settled too much you may be able to hoover it off, if not, try the sellotape as diane says

If its rubbed in, hang it out in the sub, it bleaches it out.

by sub, I didnt mean a sandwich or submarine, I actually meant SUN!

Im pleased to read these tips, have spoiled two white jumpers in the past through putting them immediately into water when stained by the flowers.

Excuse me if I add to the original question please. I have a blue (moleskin type) jacket that was attacked by the lilies recently leaving an orange stain in a few places that has now dried in! Any suggestions on how to remove the stain would be greatly appreciated. Will the dry cleaners be able to shift it?
