The commercials say Wisk which has been around for ever. But, ordinary cheapo shampoo works just as well. It breaks down the sweat which attracts the dirt in the first place. For old stains, you need Fels-Naptha Heavy Duty Laundry Bar Soap. Its about $1.25 now and will last forever. Just wet the bar and rub the stain working it up into a lather. Let it sit for a couple minutes before laundering as usual. The stuff just can't be beat as a spotter and works great on perspiration stains , too. I use it for everything, it's cheaper than Shout and any of the other commercial preparations.

soak your shirt in cold water , then with the good old fashioned bar soap for washing clothes rub the soap on to the stain .Leave free from water For 1/2 hr or so then back to the cold water give a rub add more soap , then pop into the machine on a normal wash .

Simple Green or Oxy clean. Both remove anything. I have also heard shampoo works but I have never used it.
