What's your first name?

Sorry for being less than clear. These are cotton/poly blends - dish towels and tablecloths. Nothing valuable, but often in use and visible. (Pasteles and alcapurria have a hidden cost, lol.) I've learned only bleach will remove the achiote oil from my light tan countertops - if that helps anyone ever. Achiote oil stains are orange, green banana stains are black. Will

Ps: I also tried scrubbing it out with rum which was recommended to me.

Oxygen Bleach should do it....but hmmm....try dish hand detergent mixed with white vinegar.

You need a top of the line product with enzymes. I'd try something like Tide with Bleach powder, Tide Ultra Oxi powder, Tide Ultra Oxi liquid or Tide Ultra Stain Release liquid. Do a cool prewash and then a hot main wash. Do you have a washer with a built in heater?

I routinely use tide with bleach alternative. The stains mock it, even with overnight soak. I understand enzymes, but never heard of that for laundry. Any brand recommended that I can seek?

Is that a liquid or powder you’ve used? Tide powders have a bleach activator (with Tide F&G powder being the exception). The bleach activator works better with increasing temperatures, hence my suggestion of an (extended) hot wash with a washer that has a built in heater (front-loader preferred).

Biz powder is an excellent booster to try also with your regular detergent.

Some stains in polyester will never come out.

Banana stains . . . hopeless.

Good luck!

darn, I thought we were going to discuss mexican laundry detergents.
