Anyone had any luck getting these stains out? I didn’t realize until after I washed the shirt because you can’t see it until then. These bubble stains are a nightmare. I tried soaking it overnight in OXY powder and hot water but it’s still there. I haven’t really seen anything online that actually works…. Please help

Nothing works besides for washing the clothing in plain water before washing with detergent.
I don't buy bubbles anymore, too many ruined clothing.

Garbage was my solution.
And I don’t buy bubbles and try to remind my kids not to use them.

Get rid of all store bought bubble solutions. They will haunt you.
Make your own mix with quality dawn dish soap going forward.
If the garment is plain white, you can cook up a mixture of Rit color remover and follow the box instructions.

I soaked in oxy overnight, I prewashed with dish soap in the sink, I used an enzyme based stain remover. Nothing got rid of the gray marks.

Yup like all the other posters write, bubble stains are one kind of stain that won’t ever come out

Why do the companies make them like that?

My solution (ha!) would be to put more bubble soap in a spray bottle and spritz it all over the garments, or blow bubbles and let them land on the garments (depending on whether the stains are circles or random spills), let dry, and wait till next washday to wash. The new stains will make the fabric look like a deliberate printed pattern, like the paint-splatter print that comes into vogue every so often.

Look, even if you hate the look and decide the clothes are unwearable, you've already decided they're unwearable as they are now. You therefore have nothing to lose.

I once saw online that u can use lestoil to remove it. I’ve never tried it so don’t hold me to it but if you do try and are successful please report back!
