Need stain help!
After washing a brand new light green sweater, I noticed the tiniest spot of spaghetti sauce in a noticeable place. Ugh!! I love that sweater! It has not been dried. Once I saw the spot, I soaked it in oxy clean and toddler spray (my tried and true stain remedies) then washed it again in the washer with oxy clean and detergent. Still there. Did this all twice and still there. Suggestions???? It is a small spot but still visible. TIA
If those haven't gotten it out, I don't know if anything will. My tried and true stain remover is Shout Gel with the built-in brush. It's gotten chocolate, blood, grass, spaghetti sauce, cranberry sauce, and grape juice out, almost always in the first try. My step-mother in law uses Folex and has sprayed it on a few spots on my kids' clothes when we've been over there and they've come right out. She swears by it. Good luck!
I sometimes make a paste with oxyclean and leave it on the spot for some time. Then rinse, then repeat until the spot is gone. I've gotten out red wine this way.
I'll try the oxy paste tonight since I don't have the Shout Gel. Thanks ladies!
Fuller Brush is supposed to have something that works well.
Sometimes Dawn dishwashing detergent (or any one with grease fighter) will work. I have removed many stains that way.
I used Resolve carpet stain removed on many things, and it worked great!
