vanish soap on a low temp prewash then a normal cycle with low spin, are they dry clean only?
that fabric should stand up to washing ok, but if they have already been cleaned the stain may have set...

Found this info -

First scrape off as much as possible with a dull knife. Hot soapy water will then remove fresh stains from washable articles. If a brown stain remains, soak in a solution of a diaper wash/sanitiser container sodium percarbonate followed by a good rinse in warm water.

For unwashable materials, sponge with dry cleaning fluid. Allow to dry. Repeat as necessary with a clean portion of pad beneath. If any mark remains, sponge with equal quantities of methylated spirits (wood alcohol) and household ammonia (test on colours first). Follow with warm water. A spray-on dry cleaner may be used.

As much as I hate to discuss domestic issues, i'm Shouts number 1 fan . My dh spilt red wine all over a brand new lemon sofa, the professionals came round, "sorry love thats never coming off". After a few washes with shout it did and since then ive used it on everything.

You wear white trousers ?

Oxy Action is the best, I use it for dry tea stains, choc, wine, sick (see a trend there?). BUT not in the washing machine. Hot water in the sink/bowl, just enough hot water to wet the clothes and sprinkle it on. Let it soak a bit and rub the powder in to the stained area.
