I apologize in advanced for my little knowledge of clothing care, and this may have been asked several times, but here it goes:

I have this "baseball" style shirt that is light blue and the sleeves are navy blue. There are several spots on the front and back that seem to have come from the sleeves when they were in the laundry. Is there any hope in saving this shirt or is it done for?

I have some pictures of the stains:

Stain on the back (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v192/masenko25/584748882_ORIG.jpg)

Again, I am sorry if this has been asked for already.
Thanks

If you've put the shirt in the dryer, you may have set the stains. I would try rubbing alcohol on the stains. If that doesn't work, you can try mineral spirits if the shirt isn't polyester.
