Use 2/3 cups of dish soap, 2/3 cups of ammonia, 6 tablespoons of baking soda, and 2 cups of warm water. Mix everything into a spray bottle and shake well. It works really well, it even got a chocolate stain off my child's shirt. Spray the stain and let it sit awhile then launder as normal. Always shake well before using.

Some one on this site recommmended Dawn dishwashing liquid and I've been using it with great success.
But there are a lot of other remedies on this site too.

You cannot beat original Dawn dish detergent, better than any degreaser I've ever tried.

I keep a simple bottle of dish liquid such as dawn or palmolive etc. and squirt the stains before I put them in the laundry hamper if possible. If not I use it before they are washed. This has worked wonders for me and you can buy it at dollar stores.
Advertisem*nt
A bottle will last a year or better depending on how messy things are at your home. I have also taken an empty dish liquid detergent bottle and filled it with inexpensive laundry soap and soaked with that.

You might be surprised what baking soda will clean. I use it on laundry and cleaning my sink and my cookware. It will also cut soap residue on the shower door.

What fabric is the lingerie? Would you be able to bleach it? Or use a bleach dillusion? Have you tried the usual suspects? Oxiclean, Borax, etc?

Often I have very good luck at removing transferred color stains just by rewashing the garment (in warm water?) with a liquid laundry detergent containing "bleaching action". (Ex: Detergent XYZ with BLEACH.) Not liquid bleach that you add separately. But, that would be my next try depending on the fabric.

I am doing research on stain removal and I found a website that suggests boiling water on the stove in a large pot, adding 3/4 - 1 cup of biz, and adding your stained clothes. Let simmer about 45 minutes. Apparently there are people writing and saying it has removed ink stains, and even nail polish. You could try it.

Buy a bar of genuine soap, either Fels, Zote, or Octagon. Dampen the stain with water and rub the bar of soap on the stained area. Launder.

Dawn dish detergent does wonders. I wet the stain then rub in a little dawn before I throw it in the washer. Also used it on ink mark on leather purse and it took it out. I never buy prewash products.

I don't know what type of fabric you are working with, so proceed carefully with this. I have used a paste made from powdered Cascade, lemon scent (just a little water with the powder to make a paste). Apply to stain, and then wash in the hottest water allowable for fabric. This works great on removing "rust" stains from old dresser scarves/runners.
