How do I get fabric softener stains out?
I have tried EVERYTHING I can think of to get the purple fabric softener stained spots off of 8 beautiful new linen chair covers. I never knew I could stain clothing with fabric softener until now. I have soaked them in vinegar and oxiclean. I have treated with Folex and I have also ran through the wash with bleach. They are a very light linen color. Any other ideas?

You can paint them. Look on utube or put in search engine here on how to paint fabric. Have you asked a dry cleaner? Did you set the stain by drying? Krud Kutter original concentrate might work. It cuts through oil that holds stains. Fabric softener has oil in it. It cleaned car carpet stain that had been there for a year.

Try peroxide.
Depending on if there is any color tone to the linen or not, the peroxide may take the color out, resulting in a white spot. If at all possible try on one of the stains in an inconspicuous place first.
