I have a sky blue hoodie that had a 2 in. piece of BRIGHT yellow paper in the pocket. I forgot to take out the paper so when I put the hoodie in the wash, the yellow dye got onto the pocket and I then unknowingly set the stain by putting the hoodie in the dryer. I have washed the hoodie repeatedly, the stain still remains, and it is not lightening either. The stain is yellowish and very noticeable (to me at least). How can I remove this stain? Is it permanent?

Try Lestoil and a toothbrush. It doesn't smell the greatest but by golly it'll take out some of the darndest stains from clothing. You may have to scrub and wash 2 to 3 times before it all comes out but it will come out. Once the stain is removed rewash the item once or twice to remove the smell of the Lestoil. This is also great for removing grease, oil, chapstick, ink and numerous other things. Try it!

Add some water to borax laundry powder to create a paste. Smother the stain with the borax paste, let dry until the borax can be brushed off. Wash in a gentle cycle with 4 tablespoons of table salt with NO detergent. This should remove the stain unless it's permanent.

Do you have a product called Oxi-clean where you live? Obviously you're not from Texas, USA because I never heard them called Hoodie. That OK, 1 day in the post office a UK gent while standing in line said he had a flat around the corner. I ask if he needed to use my cell phone to call for help.

Bounce has these sheets that you put in with your wash and it
is supposed to help with keeping colors from bleeding and I
have noticed that it sometimes takes stains out that were
there that I thought were set. I forgot the name of the sheets
though. Also you might try spray and wash or shout or oxy.

Does the hoodie have any logos or writing on it? If not, you could go to your local fabric store and purchase some fabric dye. First, I would remove the dye completely, which they should have that item in stock. When that process is complete, start with the fresh dye.

You could try "SPOT SHOT", but do it on an area which is hidden, just in case it removes the original colour. I use it when one of my granddoggies barfs on my light grey carpet in a corner somewhere in another room, and I don't find it for a day or two. It doesn't always work with one application, but I find it hasn't taken the original colour out of the carpet either. Good luck.

Take 1 part Alcohol to 2 parts water and soak the stain, then take dawn or any soap and scrub. Or buy dry cleaning solvent.

Try rubbing it with a baby wipe. It make take several tries but they do work on some things. If that doesn't work try rubbing it with Dawn dishwashing liquid then washing it.
