Bold ;) Its a classic but works. Any clothes washing liquid or powder but the old ones are best - not non bio, you want the enzymes. Mix it up hot to activate the enzymes, spray it on, agitate with a softish broom, 20 mins to dwell and washoff. Enz-all will also do it

Brilliant answer and bang on. I use this method for our garden seat cushions and umbrella.  But then I seal them and for once not with Aqua Mix. Doing this really helps to slow the fading down.

Yes being a protein stain it will be the same method as you would be using on your bibs to remove dribble. Have you not got any trains to spot  ;)

I use a porous plus impregnating sealer designed for the protection of porous surfaces including materiel as well as Natural stone.  It is for the interior and exterior use.  It also is weather resistant, Oil & Water resistant, safe in food areas and U.V. Transparent.  It is so good you can seal paper kitchen roll with it if you want and nothing can get through.
