I would try using the fruit stain removal . Mix an equal part of vinegar, dish detergent and salt. Make a paste and rub on stain. Leave for 20 minutes and then launder. I removed a strawberry stain successfully from cotton this way so might be worth a try for mango.
I've found that hairspray removes almost any stain from anything. Spray it on the stain until the fabric is saturated, let it sit overnight, then wash. You may have to do this more than once but I've never known it to fail.

Request: Mango Stain on Clothing
Archived on 09/02/2007
I was eating a mango and some of the juice fell on my white tee-shirt. I washed the shirt in persil but the marks have stayed. I cant bleach the shirt as there is a colored image on the front. How do I get the mango stains out?

I've used meat tenderizer on most food stains. I am about to try on the fresh mango stain. The papain in the tenderizer is an enzyme and it eats the stain. (12/04/2006)
