Try fingernail polish remover.  It really depends on the resin.  Some may take solvents such as hexane or acetone.

Seltzer water, vinegar, oxy clean...it depends on the stain. Usually any spray on stain remover made for children's clothing works the best. I use my daughter's for everything, they seem to be formulated the best for all around stains like food, dirt, etc.

Potassium permanganate (KMnO4) stains fabrics, fingers, and paper a dark brown color. The coffee-colored stains often can't be scrubbed off, and they may persist until the outer layer of stained skin wears off (in a day or two). It's more than just a nuisance for students and laboratory workers. Municipal water supplies are sometimes overtreated with permanganate ion to kill microbes and parasites, and when that water is chlorinated, swimming pools and porcelain can be badly stained. \nPermanganate itself is a deep purple color (almost black). The brown stain develops when permanganate decomposes into crystalline manganese dioxide on the skin or fabric surface: \n\n4 MnO4-(aq) + 4 H+(aq) = 3 O2(g) + 2 H2O() + 4 MnO2(s) \n\nThe tiny crystals of MnO2 become trapped in the pores and complex surfaces of the skin. The crystals are insoluble, and washing with water will only dislodge a few loose crystals. If the stain is on a nonliving surface, try treating it with a weak hydrochloric acid solution. Hydrochloric acid can reduce the MnO2 to water-soluble Mn2+: \nMnO2(s) + 4 HCl(aq) = MnCl2(aq) + Cl2(aq) + 2 H2O() \n\nCuriously, permanganate's oxidizing power makes it very useful for removing stains. Permanganate oxidation breaks the molecules of large, highly colored substances into smaller pieces. The excess permanganate is then removed chemically or by quickly rinsing. \n\nFor example, book collectors remove stains from old paper by washing the paper with a weak solution of permanganate; a rinse of sulfurous acid is used to remove the permanganate before it locks into the paper fibers and turns it brown [1]. The same trick can be used to remove indelible inks from concrete [2]. Photographers use permanganate to bleach stains caused by certain developing chemicals. \n\nReferences\nBookbinding and the Conservation of Books, D. Etherington and M. T. Roberts.

That wooden cutting board is very useful, but it absorbs stains and bacteria like nobody's business. Here's how to keep it clean. \n \n   \n  Steps:  \n1.   Wipe down the board with a sponge and hot, soapy water immediately after use. (Image 1)  \n  \n2.   Get rid of minor stains by sprinkling table salt on the affected area and rubbing the area with a lemon wedge.  \n  \n3.   Use an abrasive antibacterial cleaner and scouring pad for tougher stains. (Image 2)  \n  \n4.   Rub the board with fine sandpaper to get rid of severe stains. Be sure to rub along the grain of the wood. (Image 3)  \n  \n5.   Rinse the board well.  \n  \n6.   Wipe off excess water with a clean towel and lean the board against a countertop to allow for even drying.  \n  \nTips:  \n Clean your cutting board after each use for sanitary purposes.  \n  \n To maintain an attractive finish, use a food-safe mineral oil to polish your cutting board.  \n  \n  \n  Warnings:  \n Don't leave a wooden cutting board in standing water. Doing so will cause the wood to split.  \n\n\n\nOlive oil is not recommended for use on wooden cutting boards. It becomes rancid. Seal the wood with food-grade mineral oil, especially before the first use. Use mineral oil once a week, or when needed. To clean the board and get a sanitary surface, scrub the board under hot running water, then wash it with hot, soapy water. Wipe it with a solution of one part vinegar to four parts water. Rinse it with running water and pat it dry (or allow it to air-dry).

There is a product called "Spray 9" in Canada - not sure of its equivalent in the US - I think it might be similar to Formula 409 - test a small area of the material and if it can handle this cleaner it should work.

start by unbuttoning buttons, unlacing laces, release bra strap ... \n\nseriously This is absolutely foolproof for any laundered items! Mix Dawn dishwashing liquid soap with hydrogen peroxide...then pour on the stain and let sit as a presoak. Neither of these ingredients works by itself. You must use BOTH. You'll actually see the red wine disappear as you drizzle the mixture on a stain

Yes!\n\nMost are removed by dissolving them in the detergent, etc. The detergent is the solvent the stain the solute. \n\nAlthough water is the universal solvent it sometimes needs help. The detergent, in a sense, makes water wetter breaking down its adhesion to each other leaving more water to attach to the dirt. \n\nDry cleaning is not 'dry' it is wet, just not with water. \n\nYou need to use the solvent that will dissolve your stain the best.
