The best thing.. after 2 kiddies.. and i have not had to throw out any stained things..

is SARD SPRAY!! in Eucalyptus... ITS BRILLIANT>. even the plain one..
BRILLIANT..

I spray on the stain.. then fill up the machine with other like color clothes and laundry detergent.. then throw in the stained item that has been sitting there for 1 min.. and VOILA!!

easiest thing ever!
