remove stain from white top

i have a stain on a very nice new top and dont know what to use to remove it.
i think its like when it has been wet and i have left it too long wet in the washing machine,like mould,although the longest i think i have left it in the washer is a day or 2.
what can i use to remove it?i have tried pre wash vanish soap but that didnt do anything?

    How about bleach????
    Sounds like you tried everything else!!! I would only do this if it were a pure white top and EVERY OTHER possibility was tried and exhausted. Only do this if you are going to about to chuck it in the bin. Also only try a small amount first and leave to soak for an hr or two. Hot water helps. I'd try 1/2 a capfull to a gallon of water or a 1/2 full washing bowl.

    By the way I have never tried this myself!!!

    IMPORTANT FOR THE HARD OF UNDERSTANDING!!! ..... Rinse very thoroughly. Bleach will irritate your skin if you don;t do this.

    I find the vanish soap to be pretty useless, but the vanish oxy gel or powder used in a soak has removed some pretty bad stains for me in the past. It's worth a shot.
