It can be really hard to get a stain out after it has been washed and more specifically dryed in the dryer, but I'd try a Tide to Go Pen - they are especially good on "mystery stains" because they remove nearly any stain and don't harm the fabric.
Good luck

They say that once you have dried a piece of clothing that the stain is set in the fabric. Buy some awesome and spray it on and let it set overnight and then gently scrub it with a brush. It just might work and a bottle of awesome is just $1 at the Dollar store. It works on everything else.

I always find that Aerus/Electrolux carpet shampoo works good on stains. You just pour it on full strength and do some hand scrubbing. Then throw it in the wash. It may take a few washes to get the stain out but it works.

tide to go pen
shout spray
bleach with color guard
borax
use the tide pen and/or shout spray on the stain, srub gently, and then let sit overnight. wash with a color guard bleach like tide detergent and/or borax detergent in warm to hot water. check the stain before putting in dryer to see how much of it has been removed. if it's still noticeable then repeat the process again. if it's barely noticeable then place in dryer. the heat should also help lighten the stain. hope that helps!

i take advantage of oxy sparkling laundry spray. It incredibly takes out countless stains. be helpful you rub it in. (i take advantage of a small nail brush) And permit it stand a jiffy earlier washing. warm water sorta 'softens'stains, whether it is not secure for all fabric and colorings. For white shirts with very stuborn stains i take advantage of Iron Out. that's quite stable, so use it heavily, it incredibly works like magic. yet I only apply it to white laundry. For ink, spray with previous formed hair spray, rub it in, rinse to work out if the stain is out. Peroxide works for blood and another stains. Spot bleaching(complete power) works on whites.rinse suited away. And the main mandatory concern you need to use is elbow grease and endurance. I in many cases initiate with in many cases happening oxy spray, yet for stains that don't come off with that, I only initiate attempting all the different stuff until I win the conflict on stains. undergo in innovations, by no skill dry something with a stain.

Hydrogen Peroxide works wonders on anything.
