It sounds like it might be a grease stain- http://www.dmc-usa.com/Education/How-To/Care-and-Wash/Care-and-Washing-Instructions.aspx Good Luck!!!
I use a spray called Awesome for a lot of my cleaning, including for laundry. You can find it at the Dollar Tree, Family Dollar and Dollar General Stores. It does a fantastic job on all kinds of dirt and grease. Spray it, let it soak for a few minutes, then rinse it well in cool water. Good luck!
Thanks will check it out!
My crewel work has become orangey-brown on the stretcher bars. It has been hanging for a long time in the bathroom, so I'm sure the stain is not grease. Have no idea low to clean and how to avoid it being too clean in that area.
Remove from stretcher bars, put in ice water with some white vinegar, salt diluted in a small amount of warm water and one drop of dish detergent. Mix around, leave about 10 minutes or until mark is gone, rinse and then dry rolled in a bath towel until damp, do not wring out. Hang up to fully dry, if wrinkled iron the back on low setting and a damp press cloth or low steam. Good luck. I have used this many times and the colors do not run.
Here is my go to stain remover: A scoop of Oxyclean in hot water and stirred till dissolved. Let it cool if you don't want to use hot water. Soak overnight. If there is still some stain, use a soft small tooth brush, dip it in the dry oxyclean, scrub the stain & let it sit for awhile. Rinse, rinse, rinse & let dry. I have gotten old mustard stain out of a white knit shirt using Oxyclean full strength with no fabric damage. You should test the colored area first, but if the colored threads are good, go for it.
If there is a smoker in the home it may be nicotine. I have to wipe all my walls every few months I use hot water with a few drops of dish soap. I do not rinse.
