Talking washing clothes, help?

i managed to get charcoal on one of my new white t-shirts last weekend and i thought it would just come out in the wash, which is hasn't, so does anybody now how i can get it out?

i know there is some new flashy washing powder that might do it but is there any old wives tales?

tar

Try a vanish stick, follow the instruction on the pack. It works wonders!

Rub a bit of charcoal in it, then wash it in a really hot cycle.

Works wonders.

Soak it in Vanish Oxy Action (it comes in a pink tub).

And if all else fails, follow the instructions
