How can I get a stain out of my favorite shirt?

I washed my favorite orange shirt with a blue shirt and now the orange shirt is covered with blue stains. Has it now become my favorite dust rag?

    If it's stains caused IN the washer, I don't think they can come out :(

    I'm sorry, that same thing has happened to me before & it sucks!

    Maybe you could consider taking it to the dry cleaners or buying another of the same shirt?

    Well you should go to the store and get something called stain remover, usually the company called Tide has it. It sortove looks like a small pen with brushes on the end. But first you should try washing the shirt just by itself. It that doesn't work , then use the stain remover. You usually get it at Walmart for a good price! :)

    wash it by itself in a small load with cold water using oxyclean. If you don't have it on hand try borax (sp?) which is fairly cheap. You could even spray a little spot remover before you wash it if you like. Hope this helps!

    No, it is not ruined.

    take 1/2 cup of oxiclean powder and dissolve it in about a half gallon of warm to hot water and soak your shirt for an hour to overnite.

    Hairspray is great for stains.

    Oxy Clean worked for me. I had to do exactly what the stuff said and let the stain sit.
