Well it depends upon what the spots came from. Chocolate, grease, grass stains, dirt.
One thing that works well is 1/4 of a cup of Cascade dish washer detergent in the load of dirty laundry (use hot water).
Most stains are protein based and that is what dish washer detergent is supposed to do, eliminate protein.
My son was a grill person at McDonald's and this worked extremely well on the greasy uniforms. Works great on running shoes and tennis shoes also.
I hope this helps you out.

It would depend on what kind of spots? Spots on laundry you will want to use cold water (usually) and some sort of pre-treatment like Shout or Spray-n-Wash. If they are spots on your dished, use a rinse agent in the rinse cycle of your dishwasher, and don't use the drying cycle.

WD 40
If the stains have already been through the dryer then the typical degreasers usually won't work. You actually have to freshen the grease for degreasers to work. Spray them with w-d 40 and then use dawn dishwashing liquid. I heard this trick on Oprah and it worked for me.
Greased Lightning
As I told Ann, who has grease or oil from a pickup truck on her beige 100% cotton pants, I've had great luck removing grease stains with a product called Greased Lightning. Although not cheap, I buy it at Wal-Mart and can sometimes find a coupon for it.
Dawn Dish Soap
Try Dawn liquid dish soap. I use it on my husband's grease spots on his shirts. Just put a bit on the spot directly and wash. Don't let it dry on the spot or you might get a stain from the soap.
Getting Lip Gloss Out of Your Jeans
I had this sticky lipgloss in my back pocket and I sat down. I got it all over my jeans but what worked for me was dishwasher liquid. I got my jeans wet, then put on the liquid soap then reallym really scrubbed. Then I rinsed them out and let dry to see how it worked. If all of it didn;t come out then keep doing it until it does and then when it looks like most of is gone, put them in the wash and there ya go!
Fast Orange
My sister left lipgloss in her pants and it got all over my dress shirts. I washed them three times but it didnt work. But then I use a little Fast Orange (hand soap used for cleaning greasy hands). It worked great.
Mary Kay Eye Makeup Remover
Our daughter pulled her Basketball practice jersey along with our sons practice jersey from the dryer this a.m. and discovered that it had lipgloss (mauve) stains from our other daughters tube that was left in her jeans. My wife tried oxy style spray then 409 then InvisisGlass and none did much. Then she tried Mary Kay Eye Makeup Remover. Put it on a cotton ball and rubbed it in until the red was gone. Worked like a charm. Expensive stuff, but it turned a tragedy for a teenager into a non-event.
Mechanics Hand Cleaner
Try mechanics hand cleaner. Rub it into the spot and wash again. it is designed to remove grease. There are many kinds. Ask for some at any auto parts store.
Palmolive
I got greasy stuff in my hair once on halloween and I washed with everything and nothing worked. Then I used dishsoap (Palmolive) and worked great for me I hope it works just as good on your daughters hair.

It depends what the spots are & what material they are on. However, Vanish spray (from supermarkets) can be very good for removing stains. Spray some on before washing the item of clothing, it almost always works.

Spots on what? Carpet, clothing, glasses. You need to be more specific.

You did not specify what kind(s) of spots you have nor did you specify what type of fabric these spots are on, sorry I can not give you any hints for this problem, please specify next time, or repost your question differently. Good Luck !
