How to get stubborn stains out of clothes

Various tips from mothers…

Tide with Febreze
Bleach on whites, Clorox bleach pen on white parts of clothes.
Using cold water, pre-treating with the Dreft or Clorox Oxy-something spray, and washing in Dreft. I put it on the stain treat cycle of the washer.
I keep a bucket full of water with a scoop of BIZ in it.
Baby OxyClean
Pretreating with a toothbrush and Tide, then soaking them for a few hours before washing.
