Yeah, so I spilled a little chilli sauce during lunch. How can I get it off? It's a nice sweater, and I'd like to keep it.
Thanks!

If the chili is dry scratch it off first and then put some shout on it or some spray and wash and then put it in the wash for a long time.
If the chili is wet just spray shout/(or) spray and wash and rub it a little and put it in the wash!
Good luck!
Bye!.

Try pre-treating it with a little dish soap (like Dawn or Palmolive). Rub it (undiluted) right on the stain; let it sit for at least a hour, then wash it like you normally would. The dish soap breaks up the grease. I did this once to a nice pair of khakis; I had spilled some sort of dipping sauce all over them and the sauce contained grease, so I figured dish soap might do the trick, and sure enough, the stain was completely gone after I washed it. Hope it works! :)

Use peroxide. It will break down almost anything organic so you can then use soap and water to rinse it out. You may have to soak the spot in a small deep bowl or dab the spot and let set until the fizzing stops several times. This has always worked for me on everything from blood to grass stains and even grape juice.
You should test a little on a hidden seam first because if natural vegetable dyes were used, it could change the color.

If you don't have shout then another thing you can do is make a paste of a powder detergent. Dampen the area that the stain is in. Put the detergent on there scrub it by rubbing two sides of the shirt together, let it sit for a few minutes and then wash it.

Ya know, I have tried stray-n-wash, shout, etc., etc. I have found that a product called ZOUT works on everything I have tried it on ... so far! Just be sure & follow the directions & it should do the trick. I also throw in some CLOROX 2 powder with every load. I have 3 boys, 4 if you count my husband!!! HA HA HA
Good Luck!!

Try using some mixing some oxy clean in with water so it's like a paste and rub it in the stain. Then wash it right away with some other clothes. I had a grease stain on one of my shirts, I did that and it worked.

Soak Soak Soak, in cold water... Believe me it will work just plain cold water. Soak it for like 24hrs check it if still there another 24hrs but I'm telling you I'm a mom of three children and i feel it works awesome! then wash it regular and make sure completely out before drying because that will set the stain and no getting that out! Good luck please try it!

Immediately rinse it with water. Apply the detergent/soap on the stain and soak it for awhile. OR u may try those stain remover products in the market.

before washing...try this, take an old toothbrush and laundry detergent and scrub that chilli really good. Then wash it. before drying it double check to see if it is washed out. Don't try it, if the stain is still there, it will really stay!

When all else fails dye the sweater the color of the chili sauce.
