HELP whites are still stained

i ahve tryed soda crystals vanish washing up liquid and stardrops and still cannot get the stains out of my white clothing.
im not sure what it is, i have 2 tops and a skirt that are covered in tiny brown spots.

currantly have them soaking again in soda crystals and biological washing powder as a last ditch attempt, ok so worse to worst its only my maternity clothing and hopefully i wont be init much longer but i dont have many summer items and am not looking forward to wearing jeans through the heat for a few weeks

    Hi I have a similar problem. Can't get chocolate ice cream out of DS shirt. Sorry if this is a silly question but how do you bleach things? I remember my mom used to do it, and things looked new again.

    neat stardrops definitely works on choc ice crfeam stains ! my son is a v messy eater lol

    rub some Stardrops on and leave a lil while before washing as normal ( i always add a glug of stardrops to every wash in with the powder aswell)
