Any ideas on how to get it out? I have no clue what it is. It looks like PAINT. I don't see any "evidence" of anything but the stains, though. It is all over EVERYTHING. I don't mind tossing a few things, and underwear and towels, I am okay with, but RILEY'S BRAND NEW SOCCER UNIFORM SHIRT was in there. Thankfully IT is green, too, but the green "paint" is darker..and it is all in the white parts of the shirt, too!! I don't know what to do!!!!!!

I washed a pair of my daughters jeans that had a tube of lip stick in the pocket then dryed everything. I sprayed Shout on all of the stains then poured 1/2 a cup into the washer and rewashed the clothes. Everything came out.

It is worth a try

Could someone had left a piece of green crayon in their pocket? My son did that with a blue piece and it took me forever to figure out what had made the clothes have blue streaks.

Some one posted one time about "Biz Boil" You boil a big pan of water, add Biz and the cloths. Let them soak for awhile and it's supposed to take out anything.

I know lestoil will take out anything, BUT, I have never figured out what to get the lestoil smell out with.....

Try soaking it in Oxyclean - sorry I don't have any other suggestions.

Well, using a combination of most everything suggested, I got it out of over 1/2 the clothes. The other half, I have no idea why it didn't come out. I was disappointed, but nothing was earth shattering. Riley's soccer uniform shirt, which was my biggest concern, has a few dots, but none are major. I am going to keep working on it, but overall, I don't think he will care too much. Earlier, he would have killed me! LOL One other outfit, that would have good resell value come spring, is probably out, but I can handle the rest. Funny enough, it came out of ALL underwear...which mattered the least!!!

Have you tried vinegar? I just read yesterday that if you mix the colors accidently, pull out the culprit and rewash the clothes with a cup of vinegar. The dryer will set the colors. Good luck!

I use BIZ on everything... It works great!~ I have also noticed that OxiClean has a tendency to fade clothing.
