Need a Good Stain Remover for Stains That Have Already Been Washed and Set?

Have you tried Stain Stick? (although now I think it's called Resolve). It works pretty well-plus you can use it and not wash the clothes for up to a week. Good luck!

I recently had some good luck with a bar of Fels naptha soap and all fabric bleach. My white blouses were kinda dingy and had neck ring and a couple of stains. I washed them, used stain spray and most came out but a few spots were stubborn. I wet the area that needed treating and rubbed the soap on them and then soaked them in all fabric bleach for a few hours, rinsed and hung them in the shower to dry. They came out really good. Stains gone and the white nice and white.

I'm the same way. I check my clothes after they come out. I just use the spray and wash that can sit on the clothes for a day or two and then throw them back in the wash. I would say it works 95% on the time

I add bleach to nearly every load. In differing amounts.

Whites:
I start the water on hot or warm. Add detergent and then bleach to the water. Let it get at least half way up then add the clothes.

Colors:
I start the water on warm. Add detergent and then bleach to the water. Then I add about 1/2 cup of bleach to the water. I often swish the water around with a hanger or something that will help it mix well then add the clothes.

Darks:
If my clothes sour or smell really bad I will start the water, add the soap then perhaps 1/3 cup bleach but no more than 1/2 cup.

Then with blacks, browns, dark reds, etc...I will allow the water to fill up and agitate while I am adding the clothes. If your machine will not agitate with the lid up add a couple of pieces then close the lid for about a minute. Then repeat until the load is as full as you need it. I usually start the wash cycle time over at the point the drum is full. That way they all get to wash the full amount of time.

I use bleach because it sanitizes and it get out those stains I often miss. If the clothes are stained they are not wearable so it makes no difference if the bleach works or not.

If you are unsure about doing this then wash stained items that have no red trim or fabric on them together with the bleach and see what happens.

Not sure it will work on that - but try Windex/Glass Plus ...

The only thing that's worked for me is pouring a bit of water on the stain, and then rubbing it with a bar of Fels Naptha then wash normally. I've tried all the sprays. They work on some stains, but FN seems to work on everything - so far.

I had put away my first sons clothes to keep for the next one. When I took them out a couple of years later, stains had shown up! I washed them with Shaklee's Liquid L and Nature Bright and they came out looking good as new. Plus those products are not toxic like bleach so they didn't reek of that either.

I really like Shaklee's Nature Bright and Basic H. The combo of the two can get just about anything out and a little goes a long way!

i find that Dreft works for me, even after i wash clothes and the stains have set. good luck!

I love Oxiclean powermax gel stick. I have had really good luck with it taking out stains I missed in prior washings. I got it at WalMart. Good Luck.
