Iron out
Lestoil
Oven cleaner
Let it soak in these individually for 20-40 minutes.

Do I need to do all three? Over cleaner as in st Moritz?

I would first soak it in water with lestoil for 45 minutes or more.
If you still see that it is stained I would soak it in iron out.
As a last resort I would spray it with oven cleaner. I use easy off, but any should be good.
You must wash it with blue detergent and you can add murpy or lestoil to the load. You can also add a white brightener. Don't wash it before you see that the stain is basically removed in its entirety.

Put in a bowl with a bit of detergent and some baking soda.
Boil your kettle, when it is boiling ,pour directly over the stain. Then let it sit a bit.
I was always told that hot water stats a stain and was terrified when I saw my cleaning lady do this but it works like a charm
