have you thought of trying vanish oxi clean( a bright pink tub), you just add some to the normal wash. I used it on a throw which some hot chocolate had spilt on and it worked amazingly.

Soak in a solution of bio laundry powder (I use Ariel) for 24h, then wash in a normal load using bio powder. If you want you can rewash with non-bio afterwards. I find that Ariel shifts most things, the important thing is to make sure that the stain doesn't dry out.

as a rule, the cheaper the icecream, the less likely it is to come off.
I do the following: wet the stain with warm water, pout some fairy liquid on it and rub it on, rub some vanish sopa on top of that and put it in the normal wash. It works everytime, apart from when MIL gives DD icecream (no idea where she buys it from but I'm not too keen on it).

Hairspray - spray it on, then stick it in the wash as normal and this works a treat!
