Need Help for Stain
 
I'm hoping you clever people will have an answer. I got a peach stain on a poly/cotton tee shirt. I have tried several stain removers, washed it several times in cold water and let it air dry. I still can't get the stain out. Anybody have any tips? I've tried Oxy clean, stain stick and Clorox for colors with no success. It's a white background with different colored polka dots. I'm almost tempted to try Clorox in an eye dropper but I'm afraid it will bleach the dots.

Thanks for your help.

I've always used boiling water on fruit stains. I insert a good sized plastic bowl into the shirt under the stain. I pour hot water from my kettle through the stain and into the bowl. This usually takes it right out but I don't know if it will still work after the other treatments. Forgot to add...bleach on anything with polyester can turn it yellow.

Is the stain from a peach, or is it a peach-colored stain? If it's from grease, I have a remedy. Otherwise, I have no suggestions other than what you've already tried.

The stain is from a peach. I didn't notice it until it dried on my shirt.

Try some Dawn Dish soap. I use it for all stains, not just grease, with great results.

Besides the Dawn, try peroxide mixed with white vinegar and water, an equal thirds portion. I use this mixture to clean up all kinds of stains.

I've had success with bleach on a q-tip.

I don't know if it will work but I would try good old fashion Peroxide. I saw a link on peroxide and how it will remove the scorch marks on your ironing board and ink from your printer. I tried both and it worked wonderfully. So give it a try

Great tips. Since I have everything suggested it's time to start experimenting. Hopefully one of these tips will work.
