Set in stains...how to get rid of em?

[windcatcher 0]

Help me! One of my favorite dresses has a small stain that is set in. Am I forever doomed to wear a stain, or can anybody let me in on a secret formula to get the stain out?

And PLEASE do not tell me to use something that will end up actually destroying the dress, thereby getting rid of the stain.

What kind of material is the dress?
Do you know what the stain is?
Has the dress been through the dryer?

I think the dress is cotton, and the stain is probably foundation.

Yes, the dress has been through the dryer.
I actually took the dress to the dry cleaners and they said they couldn't get the stain out. Then I read the tag on the dress that said "Do not dry clean."

Since you asked in Bonfire, it's my duty to tell you that the best way to deal with stains on dresses is to avoid giving oral sex to presidents.

Take garmet, throw in trash, buy another.

If the stain doesn't come out easily, chances are you'll ruin the fabric and leave a hole or pills or discoloration where you attempted something more harsh.

Clothes come and go. There will always be new favorites. It sucks when something happens but, what can you do?

Billy once spilled green paint on my favorite cashmere tank I had hanging in the laundry room. Bless his heart; he felt awful and tried removing the paint with mineral spirits. I still have no idea how he did that. Our laundry room is not green. It's "beach basket" (a neutral).

You move on. It was so funny. I didn't care. Even if it wasn't funny, I don't think I've ever cared THAT much about a garment--and I LOVE clothes.

Just look at it as a great excuse to go shopping.

Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

I find if you dabb a little lighter fluid on the stain, then whilst it's still damp, use a match and ignite the fluid, the stain will disappear almost miraculously

How's yours doing?

first you will need several ingredients.

Baking Soda
A can of Canada Dry
Vinegar
Dishwasher detergent
Scissors

Start by letting the baking soda sit overnight on the stain, rinse. Didn't work?Day 2 Try Canada dry, didn't work,Day 3 try vinegar, didn't work?Day 4 try dishwasher detergent. Didn't work Day 5 CUT THAT SUCKER TO PIECES. You'll be glad you did.

I've had good luck with spray Shout. It has even worked after drying clothes, but that makes the job more difficult.

A quick look on the internet said shaving cream would fix it. If the dress is already ruined, you might as well try everythng as a science experiment. Make sure you report back to us, you know it's the little things we find interesting!
