    From this laundry magician.... Use a bar of Ivory soap and cold water. Scrub the material where the stain is between your fists UNTIL THE STAIN YELLOWS. At that point you can spray virtually anything on it and it will come out. Does not matter if the stain is 5 minutes old or 50 years old. There has never been a stain I could not remove!

    Try using Fels Naptha laundry bar soap on the stain, oxystain powder while washing and hang on a line in the sunshine. Thats my go to for any stain. My grandsons play baseball twice a week. Baseball dirt and grass stain can be a bugger to get out. But this regime works every time 😊

    thanks for the great share for the different ways of preserving tomatoes and cucumbers. and to begin removing the stain, a water diluted peroxide solution to gradually remove it and then dabbing peroxide at full strength to make it disappear. hoping for the best for you. continued blessings.🕊

    Great job! Sauce looks wonderful. I agree with trying peroxide, massage into fabric, let it sit a few hours, then launder. The other option I rely on is to wet the fabric, then massage lemon juice into the stain and finally let it sit in the sunshine. Letting fabric with the lemon juice on in the sun helps to lighten and remove stains. Wash on delicate and line dry. Hope this helps Val C

    I let my tomatoes thaw almost entirely and peel the skins. I definitely do it in the sink so I can warm my hands. A lot of the water comes out so they get cooked less

      @@lisapop5219 I’ve done that in the past but I heard that dumping the water off vs cooking it down can change the acidity of the final product, so I started doing it this way. That said, your way is definitely quicker and easier, and there might not be much to that concern.

    have you tried putting peroxide on that stain? it works like bleach, but isn't quite as destructive as bleach. might be worth doing a small test spot on the stain to see if it makes a difference before treating the entire stain.

    I’m got tomatoes cooking down right now. This might be the last load of tomatoes for us, I already have over 100 quarts and about a dozen pints.
    Apples will be next!
    About your stain, have you tried peroxide? Bleach?
    I would try but think Q Tips not the washing machine. Of course test a small part of the stain. Have clean water handy and something to blot with.
    Proceed with caution. It looks like the fabric is in great shape.
    Can’t wait to see what happens!

      @@thehometownhomestead I used to manage a lingerie store and people would get lipstick and makeup stains on thing like robes and pajamas. I would use these methods for spot cleaning. This was a high end boutique and to not try to remove stains could seriously cost thousands of dollars a year, so not at least trying wasn’t an option. The truth is it may not budge at this point, however if nothing works you could find a experienced seamstress or quilter to repair your quilt by carefully cutting out the stain and replacing with an in damaged piece taken discreetly from somewhere else in the quilt.

      So you just cook them and then put them through? Is there any real advantage over cooking them down in a roaster like I did in this upload? It seems like an extra step if I have to cook them first.
