i accidetally got tomato stains in my cousin's t-shirt, and he wants me to pay him twenty dollars, and I want to get out of it somehow because I don't have very much money, he really likes his clothes, and won't accept if there is any stain at all afterwords, or if they tear from too much bleech, any advice?

Use a pre wash - Shout, OxyClean etc.
How did you get the tomato stain on it in the first place?
I surely wouldn't give him ANY money for the shirt. Accidents happen.

Take a couple of capfuls of bleach and mix it with equal parts of liquid detergent, after that dab it onto the stains. After you have done that then toss it into the washing machine that's filled and ready to go. Biz is also a great thing to add to your laundry to get it extra white. I have never had any problems when I do it this way. The key is to get in diluted as soon as possible.
Tide clorox and biz and there is nothing I can't get out except for the red dirt from Moab Utah. I don't know what it is about that dirt but it stains everything.

Soak in water softening conditioner.
ie; White King Conditioner
It's like a powdered soap, but its not soap.
It work great. You can also use it to soak pots and pans. You won't have to work so hard to clean up messes. I've also used a solution to mop the kitchen and bathroom floor. Works great on alot of stuff, even grease on the garage floor. Doesn't take much powder mixed with water. It's kind of like TSP

Get a Clorox stain stick and "paint" the stain with it. Then soak it for a few hours and wash. The stain should come out.

wet the spot with water sprinkle Oxyclean on it and let it set for 45 min. to an hour. wash in COLD water no soap. after you remove it from washer if there is still stain repeat again. Dont put it in the dryer, dont use regular bleach.

Pour straight hydrogen peroxide on the stain and wash in cold water

Soak it in Oxyclean for a few day to a week. I use it for my toddler's clothes and it works best when you soak it. You might also try using the bleach pen just before washing too.
