Answer 1

On whites, I use spray and wash, let it sit for a few hours to work.  Then I wash it with the rest of the load using bleach  If you have washed and dried it, you only set the stain in more.

Answer 2

Spay & Wash is worthless.

Try Oxyclean & soak as per directions.

Answer 3

bathe it in vanish oxiaction for bout 10 mins and your stain will be gone

Answer 4

Wet the fabric and then sprinkle with powdered dish detergent and a little bleach.   Scrub gently with a toothbrush. Rinse the item and launder normally.  I hope this works for you

Answer 5

that's tough, but whatever you do, don't dry the garment before you remove the stain; it will bake it on. Have you tried bleaching it?

Answer 6

I use to like spray & wash with resolve for while after about 1 1/2 of use it seems as if the formula has change and does not remove stain anymore. Now, I use Zout I bought it at Sears this works great for me. I use it on blood. Rinse it out the stain first. Spray the area and if leaves a little bit of edge spot when finish just pour hyproxigen proxide to remove the rest.

All of us, no matter how neat, have been in a situation where we've had to remove stains from our clothes. In most cases, stain removal is quite simple, though sometimes clothing requires professional care. What follows are some stain removal tips.

Many stains become permanent only because one hasn't acted quickly enough. Rather than allow the stain to become embedded in the fibers of our clothing, it's best to act immediately. If the garment can be easily removed without causing embarrassment, soak it in cold water to loosen the spot. If the garment can't be removed, wet a cloth with cold water and blot until you've removed as much of the stain as possible.

It's important to blot gently at the stain. By rubbing it you're only producing more damage to the fabric. This will also cause the stain to spread.

If the garment is still stained after blotting it with cold water, try using a mild dish washing liquid. Blot a little onto the stain with a cloth until it's lifted. Soap can be blotted up with a damp sponge. If you're in an area where you can actually mix up a solution of one part dish washing liquid to two parts water, this will make for easier blotting.

Club soda and even other "clear" sodas will also help to remove the stain. Pour it on a cloth and blot until the stain is lifted.

If you happen to have some vinegar handy, you can also use this to blot at the stain.

Cold water or any of the above remedies will help to remove the stain, or at least help it to fade away. After that you can launder the item of clothing as usual. If you try one of the above methods and the stain is still visible, you may want to pretreat with a laundry detergent or spot remover for a few hours before using the washing machine.

If you got to the stain early enough, it should come out of the washing machine good as new. If not, you may want to try pretreating again and throwing it in with your next batch of laundry. It's important to note that stained clothing should never be placed in the dryer or exposed to another form of heat such as an iron. The heat will cause the stain to set in permanently. If after a couple of washings the stain still exists, you should probably take the clothes to a dry cleaner for professional advice.

Stain removal isn't difficult. Just remember the three most important rules of stain fighting: act immediately, blot — don't rub, and never apply heat until the stain is removed. Soon, your little mishap will be only a distant memory.

Answer 8

vanish oxi action

'trust pink, forget stains.'

lol

its actually very good

Answer 9

Shout wipes work magic for me.  I also have used oxyclean, but I think it's left some spots before on my clothes.

Answer 10

Go to 345 Bordway Avenue, Chicago.   There you will find Carlo Dordo of the year 2341 (CE).  He is from the future.  Pay him $200,000 dollar and he will let you use his time travelling machine (warning-the time travelling experience might lead to sudden death).  Use time machine to go back in time before you spilled spaghetti sauce.  Or you could just buy a new 'nice' white t-shirt.

Answer 11

oxy clean

Answer 12

Try Melaleuca stain remover "Prespot", cheap and good. Moreover made from natural ingredients. $10.50 only, can use quite long. If interested, email me at [e-mail]

Answer 13

i swear by oxy clean for all stubborn stains.

i hope you didn't put it in the dryer yet!!

get some oxy clean and dissolve one scoop in a spray bottle of the hottest (tap) water you can get.  spray the spot and it should dissappear.

if it won't come out like that, i have dissolved a scoop of oxy in a bucket of hot water (not a big full bucket) and let the whole shirt soak for a couple days.

i haven't found a spot that won't come out yet (blood, spaghetti, grass stains)

- try to avoid bleach if you can because, depending on the material, it can actually start to yellow the fabric or make it dindgy.

Answer 14

if it is a white shirt you may want to try bleech but it may eat the shirt. You can also try putting a little bit of dish soap on the stain and allowing it to soak.
