Some other recommended brands are Biokleen’s Oxygen Bleach Plus, Oxo-Brite (which is supposed to be earth-friendly), and Vaska’s Oxygen Brightener.

For large items that are only stained in one particular area, you could place it so only the affected area is soaking in the container.

Occasionally stir the clothing around and try to mix up any oxygen bleach that has settled at the bottom. You can also add more hot water as it cools.

Always check the stain again before drying the item, as drying can set the stain worse if it is not yet removed. If the stain remains after the soak and wash, either repeat the process or try another stain removal method.

Another option is to spray the stain with enough hairspray to soak it, and then wash as you regularly would.

You can rinse the spot clean with water and if the stain remains, apply the hydrogen peroxide or meat tenderizer a second time and allow to sit for longer.
