Washed with detergent, then tried dish soap and then tried dish soap and oxi. Still there the stain. Any other ideas ?

Will it ruin the fabric ? It's an expensive shabbos top

Did you make the garment fully wet, lay it in a clean laundry room or bathroom sink, squeeze some Dawn dish soap on the palm of you hand, rub your palms together then use both palms to spread into wet stain? Allow to sit 15 minutes. Come back and scrub with cleaning toothbrush. Wet again and spread with light palm coating of Dawn again. Let sit overnight. Scrub.

You can try soaking in Tide with bleach liquid detergent.

Shaving cream. Google foundation stains and you will see exactly how to use it. I really works amazing when nothing else does!

I know this isn’t the same but vodka sauce on a white fabric?? I washed with detergent and been scrubbing with oxi. Should I try dish soap?

Yes. Note that these stains are easier to take out before they go through the washing machine. But do the overnight thing.

First thing is to do with cold water first not hot!
There’s a spray I have called oxygen. Really amazing! Or leave bio washing detergent on it then scrub in cold water then wash.

Ok how about silly putty stains? (Might have gone thru the dryer by mistake )

That one is hard. You need to scrape off as much as you can. And break it down further with Goo Gone.

Not just any dish soap...

If Palmolive doesn’t work, try the cleaners- they have chemicals that get rid of make up stains
