Your success depends upon several things: The fabric, the color, your experience in how well you "bleach" stains, sort of like how well you "mouse" at the computer. If white in color, cotton in type, I'd dilute a few DROPS of bleach with hot water in a bottle cap, using a q-tip, mixing in ONE drop of IVORY dish soap, rub it into a TINY NEW carrot stains on both in place that doesn't show, then check it every ten minutes Once you determine it's colorfastness, you can take note of the time, strength, and effort required for the actual stain.If no change in the first hour, rinse, dry and increase your "formula" of the above. Cloth and plastic respond totally different, yet, if white, can both be treated the same and adjusted in time/strength. I prefer to use hot water so I don't have to wait. REMEMBER to wash/rinse VERY WELL. Good luck, God bless and help you. : )

Try putting some powdered dishwasher detergent on the stains. I use it on the cloth that we use for communion at chruch when the wine gets on it. Comes right out. Use as warm water as you can to wet it into a paste and rub. And WALA!! stain is gone.
