Stain Remover For Set-In Stains
Make a paste out of Shout gel (or your favorite stain remover or detergent) and baking soda. Scrub this on stain with a firm toothbrush until as much is gone as possible with scrubbing. Then splash on a little white vinegar and let it foam for a couple minutes. Rinse with water as hot as is safe for fabric. Pretreat again with a little more stain remover or detergent and toss into regular wash cycle immediately.
This saved several of my toddler's outfits.

For anyone looking for the box of stain remover that requires boiling the clothing item, I believe it is called "Rit". It is part of a line of clothing dyes and is used for removing colors from fabrics.

Stain Remover For Set-In Stains
I spilled bright red nail polish on a tannish white carpet and used a bunch of products. It hasn't came out. The stain is now set in. Is there anyway I can get this stain out?

RE: Stain Remover For Set-In Stains
Will the Shout/baking powder paste followed by vinegar method on a red jello stain work also on wooden surfaces?
My little nephews got a 'little' messy while eating red jello and it got all over the table and now I can't get it off.
I need to get it off before my sister realizes it's there so I could really use some help with this. I have tried vinegar and water, Lysol wipes, baby wipes, Goof Off, The Ultimate Remover and so far none of these things have worked yet. PLEASE if anyone has any ideas I would be much oblige to hear them.
Thank You
Tiffany

RE: Stain Remover For Set-In Stains
Alex I once dropped bright red nailpolish on a very delicate white blouse. I tried everything to get rid of the red without ruining the blouse, but nothing worked, so I figured I had nothing to loose when I tried a stain remover which called for me to boil the garment in water for several minutes and presto it worked. The blouse survived and looks great.
I'm not sure of the name of the product, but check in the stores for the small boxes of dye for clothing and among them you will find the stain remover. I believe it is a blue and white box but I could be wrong.
Good luck.

Will apple cider vinegar work instead of white vinegar?

I used the Shout/baking powder paste followed by vinegar method on a red jello stain - worked great. I would also recommend doing a double wash on stains (catch your machine before it starts the rinse cycle and set it back to wash again).
Tthe sooner you can get to a stain, the better!

RE: Stain Remover For Set-In Stains
Ahh, Thank you so much. This really worked. I didn't even have the vinegar and it worked on a stain that went through the wash twice.

Lynn,
My daughter came in from school yesterday with her brand new pale pink blouse spotted with apple that had turned brown. I tried your method (it took three times) but it almost completely removed the stain! Thanks so much!
