I've used it to get out grease, chocolate, sharpie pen, and engine grease. Just spray it on at any point before washing. Also if you're going to be eating something sloppy and you're a klutz (like me) you can lightly mist your clothes to protect against possible stains. Learned this from a hairdresser, who uses it to get our hair dye stains. Never-fail stain remover: plain old hairspray! I’ve used it to get out grease, chocolate, sharpie pen, and engine grease.

If it can't be removed with this method, then it is there forever!(BTW, this recipe comes from the Tightwad Gazette and is used by all the thrift shops.) Last Resort Stain Removal Recipe Add one cup each of powdered Cascade [or any dishwasher detergent] and Clorox II [or any color-safe bleach] to five gallons of the hottest water to come out or your faucet. Soak several articles overnight, and launder as usual. This procedure will remove about 90% of the stains that do not come out with normal laundering. I do not use this recipe for delicate fabrics, or fabrics that are not color-fast. It is particularly good for removing food stains. I am surprised that this has not yet been posted.
