BBQ Stain on White Cotton Shirt?

Stain Stick. I have lots of experience with tomato-based stains on shirts. This does work.

You should have water washed it at the very least when it happened.

Raisin Puree
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup water

1 1/3 cup white vinegar
1 cup tomato paste
2/3 cup malt vinegar
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon yellow prepared mustard
2 teaspoons apple juice concentrate
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon turmeric

1. Make the raisin puree by combining the raisins with the water in a food processor or blender. Blend on high speed for 1 minute or until the puree is smooth. Measure 1/4 cup of this puree into a medium saucepan.

2. Add the remaining ingredients and whisk until smooth.

3. Turn heat up to medium high and bring mixture to a thorough boil.
Reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 1/2 hour or until thick. Let sauce cool and then refrigerate it in a covered container for at least 24 hours. Makes 3 cups.

i use stain stick and then wash it and then hang it out in the sun to dry. sometimes the wash wont remove all of a stain but when i hang in the sun to dry the sun bleaches it out.

Hydrogen Peroxide works on any organic stain. Put an old towel under the stain. Soak the stain with the peroxide and leave until it stops bubbling.

I swear by a product you can get at Target or the supermarket in the laundry soap department -- it is called Zoot! Spray some of that on the stain, wash but do not dry it. Hang to dry and see what the stain is like at that point. On rare occasions you might have to spray and wash it twice but this product works great. It is the only thing I have found that will get out greasy stains also.

I use plain club soda for stain removal. It removes anything. Just pour it right from the bottle onto the stain and let sit for a little while.
