I bought a polyester dress and the back of the dress has a yellowish stain. Just like a circle where the fabric is discolored. I have no idea what stain it is. I am wondering what is the best way to try to get it out.
Thanks!

Removing Stain
Step 1
Fill 5-gallon pail with hot water
Step 2
Add 2 T each powdered dishwasher detergent and hydrogen peroxide
Step 3
Soak overnight
Step 4
Wash as usual in the morning
Try using zout and oxiclean powder together. Follow the directions on the packages exactly. Let it sit for an hour and then wash out in cool water. Let it dry out side in the sun.. you may need to repeat this several timesI have not tried it on polyester, but it works miracles on linen and cotton even for old stains.
Polyester is tough for removing stains as it is man made material and stains seem to go right into the weave.
Hopefully you have been successful in removing the stain but if not then you might try just good old sunshine as I have used this method with all types of material and it does work - not every time but a good record.
Lay the garment in full sun and keep the stain wet (plain water). Continue wetting stain for several days if necessary and leave out overnight as the dew also helps in this process.
If that does not work try wetting stain with a very weak Dawn and water mixture and let sun try it again.
