How to get rid of tea stains from a cream colored sports shirt.?

I am afraid to use commercial bleach. Immediately after spilling the tea, I tried to wash it out but there still remains a "shadowy" stain.

    Wash it again in cold water but it may be to late if you ran the shirt though the drier.

    If it happens again and you can still try it:

    1) Blot the stain immediately with paper towels.

    2) Sponge the stain using cool water.

    3) Apply a laundry stain remover.

    4) Wash and allow to air dry.

    If all else fails, stain the whole shirt with strong tea.

    It may not be cream anymore but it should look even in color, you may even like it better.

    Wink. It is actually a bathroom cleaner but I have used it many times on light colored clothes to get stains out and it works wonders. It even says on the bottle how to use it on fabrics.
