Answers:
Try peroxide full strength, let it set for about 20 minutes and then rinse, wash as usual. or take 1/4 cup of rubbing alcohol to three tablespoons of water, let that soak in and leave it a few minutes, then squirt dawn or whatever dish detergent you use, and rub the stain Rinse and if you have to do it again, use cold or warm water not hot.
Try spraying it with hair spray on the area. If that dont work I would rub in detergent to the affected area and scrub it and let it set that way for about 20 minutes and wash again. If your putting it in the dryer after each washing the stain is getting set in more and more.
Have you tried the new Tide stain sticks? They are a miraculous thing! I carry one in my purse at all times and they also work with older stains. Worth a try and you will not regreat the investment for other items in the future.
Soak in cold water, remove and rub in natural soap. Leave the soap on and free from water, say 1/2 hr should be long enough, Now hang your skirt out in the sun . The sun will do the rest of the work for you, by bleaching out the stain , the natural way
