But not just those like Shout and Oxi. I mean the ones that remove the tough stains that don’t come out with the typical sprays!
I have 2-3 things that were washed a couple of times but the stains won’t budge. Even bleach didn’t help.
What can I use or soak them in to get the stains out?

DeSolvIt available on Amazon. Make sure you wet the stain before spraying scrubbing then washing.

Beware that the strong sprays often leave a mark or hole on the clothing.

Mix 1/4 cup of white vinegar, 1 tbsp. of dish soap (or detergent), and water in a spray bottle. Spray the area liberally and let soak for 5-10 minutes and then blot again with a clean, dry towel until stain is removed.
From Google, but I have used this on washed/dryed-in stains and it works every. single. time.

All the other places say 1:1 vinegar and water.

My favorites are Zout (not shout) and "Ms. Mouth's messy eater" they both work wonders.

Put it in the sun. It's saved me soooooo much stuff. Even stains from months ago.

For how long? Do you spray or wash?
I have a whole pile of stuff I’ve given up on

No. I use it on everything. So far it has worked.

Resolve spray, scrub into fabric, let sit at least 10 minutes. Then put in regular wash.
Put in sun to dry.

A lot of it depends on the stain and the fabric.
For things like spit-up or sugar stains, I use oxiclean spray or gel, sprinkle on Oxiclean powder, and then soak it overnight in hot water with a little detergent and Biz.
Food stains - miss mouth’s messy eater spray is the way to go.
Folex on things I can’t or don’t want to wash (shoes, strollers, upholstery)
Neck and armpit stains, or general yellowing of clothes, I dampen and leave in the sun. Depending on the fabric you can put lemon juice on before and it’ll bleach it out nicely.
Linens that have yellowed I soak in RLR and Oxiclean then wash and dry in the sun.
The only thing stain I’ve ever been beaten by was red gatorade on a white polyester flower girl dress. Nothing takes that out.

For a few hours in direct strong sun. No spray and wash. Just sun.
