My son wiped off his hand on our chair that's cream and he had vaseline on. Now his little hand print is on there. Any good remedy for stubborn stains?

sure, blame it on the kid.
But, Take a plastic knife or a butter knife and scrape over the stained area. Bring up as much of the Vaseline as possible.
Nest, use a paper towel or a cloth, wet the cloth with rubbing alcohol and dab at the stained area. You will see a glossy coating and the alcohol will break down the oils in the Vaseline to remove it. Continue this at least three or four times and then go to the next step, as you might not be able to see all the stain when it is wet.
Make a spray mixture of one-cup warm water and a tablespoon of clear bleach free dish liquid. Spray this on the stained area and blot with a clean paper towel to bring up more of the Vaseline.
If you still have a stain, spray the area with peroxide and let it dry. This will break up the stain further. Repeat as needed, letting the fabric dry between applications to completely remove any remaining stains.

Well if it happened to my furniture i would have every cleaning product out trying .
Washing powder and warm water would be my first
washing liquid and water
soap .
No Bleach !!
I would then be at local supermarket looking at the stain devils range (helped me with chewing gum)
and if all else fails hire a professional cleaner

I think vaseline is very hard to get out.....
i have had to use a dish liquid specifically for grease
removal
Dawn
or try the new foam one for grease cutting..if you have seen the commercial it is the pump one which is said to remove grease without water from pots?
try that...

1 Apply a small amount of non-gel toothpaste to a damp, clean, lint-free cloth. 2 Rub toothpaste over the water spot. 3 Remove film with a clean, damp cloth. 4 Dry with a clean, dry cloth. 5 Polish.

"Float" stain with kerosene, then wash with soap and water.
