What works for stains on white clothing?

Question

I don't know where people get off thinking that every common suggestion you see online works. Non-chlorine bleach does NOT work on brand new mild dirt stains or old perspiration stains, and neither does baking soda, white vinegar, regular bleach, borax, dawn dish washing liquid, lemon juice, or ammonia. I have even tried mixing baking soda and ammonia, to no avail. It frustrates me that every who asks how to get stains out of white clothing always gets one of the above as a suggested solution. I washed my new white denim shorts with some white socks. The dirt from the socks transferred onto the shorts and when I took them out of the washer the dirt would NOT come out with any of the products I mentioned. Does anyone have any NEW ideas that they've tried and work FOR REAL?

PitStop underarm stain remover made for armpit stains and ring around the collar.  It is a solution that bonds to the stain pulling it away from the fabric's fibers so it can be washed away in your laundry.  Also bleach on these stains actually makes them permanent so there is no hope for the ones treated with bleach.

in case you have already tried stain removers and that they did not artwork, then blend clorox and water in a small plastic field (i exploit the cup on my liquid cleansing soap field) and get a toothbrush and rub the stain till it is long previous. Rinse the garment and then wash it as you in many situations do. do not use this methodology on colored clothing. you will wreck them!

lay some soap on the stain and hand wash it and then lay a little bit more soap ( do not rinse) and then lay it on the sun all day and then wash it at night or the next day on the washer
