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.

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

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.

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!
