How can I get spaghetti sauce out of clothing?
Question:I can get out almost any stain, but this one has me stumped.
Answers:
Use OxyClean. It really is amazing.
Run cold water on the stain & rub the spot as you're doing so. Try using Dawn dish soap or Tide liquid detergent to rub on the spot while running cold water on it. Rub vigorously, until the stain is completely gone. Era laundry detergent is also a great spot treater but I have a lot of luck with Dawn & Tide.
Use hydrogen peroxide. My husband is a nurse and uses peroxide to get blood stains out I would think the hydrogen peroxide would take the spaghetti sauce out.
depending on the type of material, you will use a specific method.
How to Remove Steak, Barbeque, and Spaghetti Sauce Stains:
FROM Leather, Suede::::
Mix a solution of mild soap in lukewarm water. Swish to create a great volume of suds. Apply only the foam with a sponge. Wipe dry with a clean cloth. On leather only, follow with Tannery Vintage Leather Cleaner & Conditioner or Fiebing's Saddle Soap to condition the leather.
FROM Acetate, Burlap, Carpet (synthetic or wool),
Fiberglass, Rayon, Rope, Silk, Triacetate, Wool::
Gently scrape (the method of using a dull tool to gently lift off excess solid or caked-on stains) to remove excess. Sponge (the method of using a dampened pad to apply light strokes, moving outward from the center of the stain) the area with a dry-cleaning solvent such as Afta Cleaning Fluid. Apply a dry spotter. Cover the stain with an absorbent pad dampened with dry spotter. Let it stand as long as any stain is being removed. Change the pad as it picks up the stain. Keep the stain and pad moist with dry spotter. When no more stain is being removed, flush (the method of applying stain remover to loosen staining material and residue from stain removers) the area with the dry-cleaning solvent and allow to dry. On carpets, sponge with water to remove the enzyme mixture, then place a clean dry pad over the area and weight it down. When no more liquid is being absorbed, allow it to air dry completely.
FROM Acrylic Fabric, Cotton, Linen, Modacrylic,
Nylon, Olefin, Polyester, Spandex:::
Carefully scrape to remove as much excess as possible. Apply a wet spotter and work into the fabric. Rinse thoroughly with water and launder.

We would use a product called Soilove which seems to get *anything* out. I was trying to sneak a few of DH's forest green turtlenecks out of the house. They had grease stains all down the front. He caught me and said, "Oh, honey-no! Can't you just use some of that stuff in the green bottle for one more try?"
Result: the turtlenecks came clean and stayed. : (
Use Era. It is a protein enzyme and breaks down most organic stains. Have you ever seen the commercial where they write the word Era in the grass stain and it really comes out? I have done that before on stains. It works best if the cloth is wet. I also use it on my nursing scrubs and kids jeans on the knees. You may have to let it sit an hour, but that usually does the trick. Also, it will tell you to check for colorfastness, so please do. I keep a bottle in my laundry room just for stains. Good Luck!
