I have a white shirt which is 95% cotton and 5% spandex. I had a food stain on it which I sprayed Oxi Clean on it. Unfortunately I didn't wash it until several days later and after the Oxi Clean dried on the shirt. The Oxi Clean has left a yellow stain which did not come out in the wash. Any suggestions on how to get this yellow stain out?
Thank you

well, it's probably ruined anyway, so why NOT try bleach? what have you got to lose?

Bleach it. If you have a top loader washing machine start the water then add the laundry soap and add some bleach.
Let the water fill to the level you want. Then let it agitate a tiny bit to stir the soap and bleach up a bit.
I would just use warm water or if you've never washed it in warm then use cold but that might be why the satin isn't coming out. Cold water doesn't really work as well for stains.
If it doesn't come out you might try more Oxiclean or call them.
Fels Naptha laundry bar. Wet the fabric, rub in the soap, wash.
I wouldn't use bleach. Many of today's fabrics use finishing chemicals that make the fabric wrinkle free that discolor with the use of bleach. The fabric is usually labeled not to use chlorine bleach.
Veruca Salt's citation lists other ways to eliminate such a stain. I read the suggestion to use denture tablets. I've just put the item in a mixture of oxyClean powder and water to remove the yellow stain. I've found that soaking even other stubborn stains usually works better than the oxyClean spray.
