last ditch effort at stain removal. Please help!

[CTyankee]

14. Oh, don't feel bad! Stuff happens. I just didn't realize that the sweater was not color safe,

I guess. I'm over it, really. I just wanted to warn folks that this can happen, probably because dishwasher detergent is really strong stuff. However, even with that strength the spots themselves are still there and visible even in the white areas that the detergent caused.

I don't know what those original stains were from. I tried Oxy stuff, which sometimes works on some things. Maybe the stains were just too old (since I had put the sweater in the closet for the winter and forgot about them (I don't recall seeing them in the first place, tho).

Since the original stains were too visible for me to be able to wear it in public and impossible to remove with standard stain removers, the sweater was probably doomed long before your advice.

So don't feel bad, please!
