if you don't clip the yellow stamin (?) from lilies and the blossom drops on your tablecloth, the yellow stains the cloth (and anything else). How do I get it out of a white tablecloth.

Have you tried a soak with oxyclean?
Oh dear. See if these help.

When using flowers with pollen, I remove the stamens so that this does not happen. Now you know!
This works!! I don't know where you live and if you have any sunlight right now, but I have used this on a linen top and it worked perfectly. If you haven't done anything to it, take a piece of scotch tape and put it on the spots to lift any loose pollen off. Then put the cloth with the spots facing up, out in the sunlight. They will totally disappear! Like magic!
Treat it like a grass stain and use an enzyme cleaner like Biz.
put some Dawn dish soap on it rub it in gently with fingers let it sit then rinse with cold water
