Some suggested an even cheaper option of using elbow grease, which retails at £1.25 at ASDA. 

One explained: “If it’s grease you need something like elbow grease or washing up liquid to break it down. I’ve seen people use dishwashing tablets in hot water then a microfibre cloth tied over a pot handle and dipped in the water. I wonder if it will work for this xx”. 

Another said: “ I use elbow grease and zoflora in my Bissel spot cleaner, everything comes straight out”. 

A third added: “Elbow grease worked on mine. I’ve got a navy bed now,” with a wink emoji.
