Removing Set In Stains from Cotton Comforter?

My daughter has a white cotton comforter that has some odd set-in stains. I am not even sure what they are, maybe chocolate milk or something she ate in bed (7 year olds do this). The comforter has been washed and dried several times, so the stains are set in stone. I can't use bleach because there is some lovely light gold embroidery on the end of it.

I've tried letting the liquid detergent sit on it for an hour or so (just on the spots) and that hasn't worked. I washed it with Oxiclean on hot water - no change. I've read ammonia may help, but I don't have ammonia nor do I want to use it. Any other ideas? I need it clean ASAP for guests!

Dissolve 6 or 7 denture tablets in a bucket of warm water. Then soak the stained object in it for a whole day and then rinse out. We had white curtains that had gone yellow from smoking tenants in our property. They came up like new
Best of luck

You have nothing to lose at this point, so try this. Get powdered dishwasher detergent, and pour the entire box into your washer filled with warm water. Agitate enough to dissolve the detergent. Place the comforter in the machine, and make sure it is submerged, especially the spots. Let soak over night. If partially successful, repeat.

Then wash as usual. Air dry if possible I use the el cheapo detergent from the dollar store, and it removes a lot of stains. I buy clothes at garage sales and thrift stores for my grand and great grandchildren, and they are frequently stained. This method helps salvage many of them. I hope this is helpful.

I tried that method yesterday, it didn't take my stains out at all.

dishwasher detergent for dishwashers is very corrosive to fabrics , also causes rashes for those that are sensitive

Use shout the one that says set in stain. It works on all set in stains. But it has to say it on the bottle
