I have gotten out many grape juice stains by using Dreft. I've even used it on white tablecloths and adult clothes, too.

stretch the stained fabric, inside out, over a bowl and hold in place with a rubber band or embroidery hoop. boil up a kettle of water. pour the boiling water right on the stain from a height of at least a foot. (best to put the whole thing in the bottom of the bathtub for your face's safety's sake.)

repeat if necessary. works for grape juice, wine and fruit juices.

chen r u serious? Shocked

Plain old boiling water?? Does it work on older stains?

Why does it have to be done from a foot above?

what's wrong with pretreating and soaking? no danger there.

thank you for the suggestions. I don't have dreft so I'll use the boiling water method. I saw that boiling water is used when I searched online. I'm trying it now. I hope it will do the trick. it is not a fresh stain. its from shabbos!

I love oxyclean- which I heard of from this site.

It got out stains from last year that were even put in the dryer - & shout wouldn't get it out

Also wondering about the hot water method?

Oxy Clean powder works amazing soak it in that overnight and the stain will be gone.

I think I heard that peroxide takes out ink stains but I have used oxy powder for ink stains and also came out beautiful

Is it true once you put it in the dryer the stain wont come out?

Yes I have heard it and also if you wash in hot water they willnot come out the heat bakes in stains I hang all my kids clothing for this reason and good stretcchies I hang if I know there is a possibility of a stain.

true but velour needs to be dried otherwise its not as soft.

so if it is stain free I then dry it it fluffs up but not always do youo see the stains until something is dried.

What about chocolate? Does anyone know how to get rid of a chocolate stain (we were transferring melted chocolate into a fountain and quite a bit spilled)?

I have a pretreating detergant that I use for almost anything. Its is from the company Spray 'N' Wash. The name is Dual Power. I use it for almost everything. I personaly reccomend it!

the boiling water helped, but there is still a slight trace of it. I gave it to my mom to see if she can remove it. I give her delicate stuff to wash and tough stains! she has more experience with laundry!
