A Russian man created a spectacular explosion as he tried to remove a stubborn stain from his trousers using an untested method.

The Moscow resident poured a litre of petrol into his washing machine, believing it would dissolve and remove a paint stain, Itar-Tass news agency reported.

But his spark of ingenuity backfired in dramatic fashion.

When he switched the machine onto its wash cycle, he sparked a large explosion as the petrol fumes ignited, the agency said.

The blast wrecked his kitchen and demolished two internal walls of his flat.

Moscow police confirmed there had been an explosion in a south-eastern Moscow apartment, but would not comment on the cause.
