Talcum Powder
Pour talcum powder on the stain. Let it dry and shake it off. The stain is gone
Salt
Another idea is to put cold water on the stain as soon as possible. Then sprinkle some salt over it. Allow to sit for a few minutes. Rinse the salt. Repeat again and again until the stain is gone.
Boiling Water
If it's clothing, then stretch it out over a pan and then pour boiling water through it. The stain should wash right out. If it's something like a carpet, you can't pour water through it but you can still treat it with boiling water. Put the water on a washcloth (preferably a clean white one with no dyes) and blot the stain until it comes up. Be sure to rinse the cloth often.
Baking Soda
Create a baking soda paste. The baking soda will help soak up the color of the stain if you mix it with a bit of water to create a paste and let it sit and soak.
Detergent and Hot Water
Use hot water and a bit of dishwashing detergent. Blot carefully at the stain. Don’t rub it in- it will only set the stain more or move it around and make it bigger. Blot gently at the stain and pull the red up from the fabric, washing the cloth often to keep it clean.
Another good idea for stain situations is prevention. Whenever you are actually able to prevent the stain to begin with, you have less to stress over.

depends on the stain and the fabric. try ivory soap, rub it into the wetted stain with cold water for tomato sauce extc. especially if the material is 100% cotton.

Apply SHOUT or any other laundry pretreater and let set for 1/2 hour, then with warm water and a cloth wipe the area.
