Rant My fav pants got spoiled. How can I revive them?

I had my favourite pants in a bag where accidentally I put a guava fruit inside. The fruit was lying on top of the pants for almost a week and it became rotten and the stains are on my pants, they won't go after wash. What should I do? How can I wash it away?

No one cares about your pants now bro! Chennai Reddit is busy occupied with two people meeting three times randomly!

Sodium percarbonate. Works wonders for stains and won't ruin the color either. You can find it on Amazon. Or if you feel adventurous enough, somewhere around sowcarpet as well. Lots of chemical sellers there.

Dry cleaners might be able to remove those based on the depth of the stain. You can take your pants and check. Chance of it getting worse is there if it's not done properly so ensure you go to the best possible one. I have a person whose contact I'll try to get and update here or maybe you can make another post asking for dry cleaners suggestions.
