What's your secret for getting out disguisting grimy stains? (from clothing)

Roman's playground at daycare is all sand. You would think no problem it will shake off. He plays so aggressively it stains like dirt. I use oxi clean spray before everything gets washed then will use clorox plus detergent and the rings are still around his socks and the stains get that greasy look on his clothes. I'm tired of buying clothes and I feel like a dirtbag sending my kids to daycare with stained clothing. HELP!

You can try using lemon juice. I use it to get out ds formula stains out of his clothes. I pour it into a spray bottle and spray away.

Zout (not shout) works like a charm.

Soak them in Lestoil. I've never done it, but my GF swears by it. Then give them a good wash in the machine and she tells me they are as good as new.

For DS I use the Dreft spray. I was shocked it even removed red Jell-0 from his white shirt (it was a Mess).
I spray a lot of it on the spot, let it soak in a few mins. and then put it in the washing machine.
I even used it on one of my shirts this AM and the spot came out.

I found washing the day the stain happens is the best way. I also spray oxyclean directly on the stain.

I do laundry every night and none of DD's or DS's clothes have any stains on them! I know it's crazy but it works for me.
