Answer 1

I have had great results when I soak in oxiclean, It doesn't hurt any fabric, whites or colors.

This is what I do for stains;

It takes out most every stain, in an hour to three days.

dissolve 1/2 cup oxiclean powder in some hot water, in a bucket or large bowl. Add enough water so the item can soak. Add cold water after the oxiclean is dissolved when the item should not be in hot water. Let soak till the stain is gone.

Each day Refresh the oxiclean and water. By draining the water and making a new mixture.

I got hair dye, food stains, grass stains, yellowing from age, under arm stains out, also bleeding from other colors out ( remember to use cold water), just to name a few tough stains that can be gotten out!

The new oxiclean laundry stain remover spray will work on most  Fresh stains--stains not washed yet,

Answer 2

my husband is a chef and i am a former pastry chef.  we always have weird stains to contend with. it's just part of the job.

first thing for stain fighting is to treat the stain before washing the item.  i really do use Shout to get out stains.  i also have grease fighting stuff that i use.  if you can treat the stain immediatly, you will have a greater chance of getting the stain out.

if the stain is already set in - like in your sweat pants - getting it out can be nearly impossible.  couple of things you can try -

spray it with hairspray - any cheap brand will work.  hairspray gets out ink stains and some other stains.  after you spray the stain, wash the sweatpants in warm water.

BEFORE you put the sweat pants in the dryer, see if the stain is gone.  once you dry the sweat pants, the stain will be more set in.  

get some laundry product like Oxy Clean and put some of that on the stain.  let it sit for awhile before you wash the sweat pants.  

sorry about the stain.  that always sucks big time.  hope some of the answers you get will help you.
