By never allowing anything of any kind to spill on it in the first place. That's the long and the short of it. Every spill, no matter how quickly washed or bleached into oblivion, leaves behind traces of itself in the fabric. These traces oxidize over time and manifest themselves as yellow stains. The stains can often be bleached away, but they will always reappear after exposure to heat or extended storage. Bleach does not remove the stain; it simply decolorizes it. Heat, oxygen, and time conspire to revive the stains.
No, I lied. There is a theoretical way. If you can figure out a way to hermetically seal the clothing in an environment of pure nitrogen, oxidation would be inhibited and the stains would remain hidden. Nice science fair project idea.
