White Cotton Shirt

I have a cotton white shirt which fell into yellow mixing. I tried several ways. But the stain is intact. What are the best solvents for removing the stain from white fabrics.

I have had great results when I soak in oxiclean, It doesn't hurt any fabric, whites or colors.
This is what I do for stains;
It takes out most every stain, in an hour to three days.
dissolve 1/2 cup oxiclean powder in some hot water, in a bucket or large bowl. Add enough water so the item can soak. Add cold water after the oxiclean is dissolved when the item should not be in hot water. Let soak till the stain is gone.
Each day Refresh the oxiclean and water. By draining the water and making a new mixture.
I got hair dye, food stains, grass stains, yellowing from age, under arm stains out, also bleeding from other colors out ( remember to use cold water), just to name a few tough stains that can be gotten out!

My boyfriend has a giant stain on a white cotton shirt from chocolate syrup that had been sitting on the shirt for about 2 months, and I just found it. I just ran the shirt under hot water to break the chocolate up and get it off, and now I'm just left with a giant light brown stain. At the moment, I'm soaking the shirt in warm water and Woolite in the bathroom sink.

What's my next step in getting rid of the stain? Or is the shirt a goner?

You can only use bleach if the entire shirt is white. If it has any color you risk ruining it. I always spray a stain with a stainfighter (shout, oxiclean, etc) Let it sit for a few hours then soak overnight in warm clorox2 water. Wash as normal in the morning. If that dosnt work you might as well toss it out.

Today at school, I was printing something on t-shirts using the silk screen method with black ink.
Unfortunately some ink (it was more like water and ink, because i was rinsing the screen) got on my white cotton shirt.

Does anyone know how i could remove the stains?
Thank You

You can try rubbing alcohol take 1/2 cup of alcohol and 1/4th cup of water and put a few folded paper towels underneath the stain and pour the solution on it let it set for 10 Min's and then add a few drops of dish detergent and gently rub around the stain and rinse, it might have to be done again.

I had gotten honey gold tinted wood sealant on my white cotton t-shirt. I washed it after pre-treating it with laundry detergent and it all still there.

you must use paint thinner as soon as possible. after it is dry is to late.
1. start with clean cloth. soak part of it in thinner, then apply on spot. wipe gently, keeping area wet with thinner. repeat until spot is removed.
2. soap and water to remove thinner.

i have removed much worse . a quart of oil base paint in floorboard of my car. about 3 hours of constant work with thinner approx. 11/2 gallons
