Set in tomato/spaghetti sauce stain. How to remove?
Question:It's on a white top with some design. I immediately soaked it in dish washing liquid after my two year old daughter wiped her spaghetti filled hands all over her shirt. I washed it today and it still has a faint stain. How do I remove it now since it's been washed?
Answers:
Try soaking it in Milk. Weird I know but this does work.
Wash it and then lie flat in the sun.
Shout it out. Use color safe bleach. Soak the blouse in vinegar.

Unfortunately, heat sets in spaghetti stains, so if you have put them in the dryer they are going to be difficult to get out. Although it is tempting to wash them in hot water, cold will work better. The only other stain treatment that you haven´t already tried would be dry cleaning solvent. You could also try placing the stained item in the sink with cold water dripping on the stain. Leave overnight, with the drips falling directly on the stain. This should loosen the stain. Good Luck!=)
Tomato based stains set in with heat. This would have been better to know BEFORE you washed the shirt. It's possible that you have now set the stain if you washed with warm or hot and then dried the shirt.
Try Oxy-Clean. That works very well for me. It may help, but again, the stain may be set.
