I used 505 spray to hold polyester shirt to stabilizer. I've used this for years. All was good, no spots, but needed to rinse off washable stabilizer, of course dried them, 5 of them, now a small spot to 3 spots show up on 3 of them. I have tried Shout, another spot remover, and now have Dawn on them, I think they are getting lighter. Worse of all the logo was embroidered on $70 shirts for someone else. I really need help

I found this website that recommends using 90% rubbing alcohol.

If the rubbing alcohol doesn't work, she recommends using a citrus degreaser.

Haven't had this particular stain, but my go-to is Grandma's Stain Remover:

My dh tried multiple things to get grease out of a pair of white tennis shoes, including the washing machine. Nothing he did worked. I rubbed this stuff in, let it set, then washed the shoes in the machine and they came out like new. I see they now have a laundry spray version. Think I will get that as it would come in handy for larger stains.

Avoid using hydrogen peroxide, as it can fade colors and also weakens the fabric fibers.

Edit: Another thing that I think is safe to try is nail polish remover.

years ago i did that to a poly shirt of my husbands with those toss in fabric softeners in the dryer. Ivory soap got them out. rub on and soak and wash.

No, no, no. Even acetone free polish remover can damage synthetic fabrics. Acetone polish remover for sure will melt them.

I have been using Dawn a couple of times, seem to be getting lighter. I have just been rinsing out by hand, don' t if it would help to do a regular wash. What do you think of adding Oxyclean to wash. I use it all the time for my husbands dirty jeans, but it's the polyester that worries me. This has not been a good day.

Wondering if I should soak in Dawn and water overnight? Or just Dawn. Ordered Grandmas stain remover but won't get for a couple of days.

Still looking for suggestions

My best luck with stains or grease spots has been to take a bar of ordinary soap, wet the corner and rub the soap into the spot. Let sit, wash/rinse, (don't dry), repeat as necessary. It's ok if it sits and the soap dries in, just wash it and repeat as necessary. I've gotten ink out of a ball cap, grease out of work shirts, and multiple other things out. Exposing to sunlight may help, it works for mustard stains.

You said you used Shout......have you tried Zout. I find it works better.

Just a thought, you might try shampoo

Acetone will take out 505. Try a little on a seam allowance first.
