Bleach works well with sanitizing or reducing the color that has gotten onto clothing. However, if the stain is oil-based, use a stain remover since most are oil based.

Alternatively, I use 1/4 c bleach mixed with 1/4c dishwasher liquid in 1/2 gallon hot water--mix thoroughly. Soak the item for 10-15 minutes and immediately put through the wash cycle. Check it after washing before placing into the dryer. If the stain is not gone, repeat the process. I have had luck using this process for red mud, grass stains, oil, baby spit up, and blood stains. Occasionally it helps with set-in stains too.
