Removing Set In Stains from a White T-shirt?

I have a white t-shirt I've tried to soak it in Sarb Wonder and the stain still won't come out. Any ideas?

First - it appears you are not in the USA so I am not sure if everything (products) will be available to you but you may be able to find a similar product.

Step 1
If t-shirt has been dried in a hot dryer then it may have permanent stains that almost nothing will remove.

Step 2
Saturate set-in stains with vinegar. Then, rub the spot with a paste made from equal parts vinegar and baking soda. You can add a couple tablespoons each of vinegar and laundry detergent to a bucket of water and soak the garment overnight if the stain persists. Then, rinse and wash.

Step 3
Mix 1/4 cup liquid dish detergent - 1/4 cup glycerin (sold in drug stores/Walmart type stores) (pharmacy) - 1 1/2 cups water. Mix and put in spray type bottle and spray on all spots. Let soak for an hour or so and then laundry as usual but do not dry in dryer until checked for remaining spots.

Step 4
All fabric powdered Clorox bleach will sometimes work (not chlorine liquid bleach). 3/4 fill a bucket with very hot water (for cotton) and add 1/4 cup powdered bleach - mix well - add shirt and leave for several hours - check and leave up to one whole day - wash as usual (add this bucket of solution to first wash)

How do you avoid ruining the rest of the garment when it has pattern you do not want to become discolored in the process of getting rid of the tough stains?

Sometimes I have found that the best way to remove stains from cotton, especially the color white, is to simply lay it out in the sunshine for a good while. You didn't really mention exactly what it was that stained your shirt, but it wouldn't hurt to try.
