Hmm, possibly not I'm afraid. What about soaking it in hand washable liquid overnight, then stain remover it again and re-wash it?? I'd go for it!

You could try hanging it out to dry in the sun. I spilt tomato ketchup down a white t-shirt a couple of weeks ago. When I had washed it the stain was still visible, but after an hour or two on the washing line on a nice sunny day it had gone.

Tomato based sauce stains of any kind are virtually impossible to remove (discovered from bitter experience) so an apron for cooking is a must. I've found that a blob of Liquid Ariel washing machine liquid put on a pre-dampened stain can greatly reduce it, but unless you wash the splash out the very instant it happens, within 60 seconds it seems to have ingrained inself in the material for life.
