I noticed a stain on one of my favorite BD sweaters - in Sea Salt! 

It's bluish and looks like it might be a color that rubbed off when I was wearing jeans.

I tried Tide with bleach (non-chlorine) - and nothing.

Is it doomed? Is there anything else I can try?

I don't know if it's washable or not but usually dye from denim washes out of whatever you were wearing with it.

I would try shout before washing.

The best way to remove stains from POLY fabric, IMO, is to use automatic dishwasher cleaner.

It works wonders on plastic ware in removing stains in your dishwasher. Your poly clothing is plasticware too.

I would dissolve the cleaner is warm water and soak the sweater.  I have already soaked my items for a few days.  

I have had good luck with this method.  I hope it works for you.

Two things I would try:  one is a dawn platinum spray or rubbing alcohol.

I WOULD NOT use dishwaher detergent. It can have a bleach (chlorine) effect on garments. Best thing would be Shout or that type of product.

Or try Purity (the Philosophy face wash).  If it can get mascara and eyeliner off easily, it might help with your stain.

I've had good luck with Dawn on stains.  Heck, it's okay for baby ducks, right?

I think the key point is DO NOT PUT IT IN THE DRYER, as that will bake in that stain and you'll never get it out. 

Let it air dry and check to see how the stain remover did.

This worked for a scarf I have that my very dark jeans rubbed off on via my very blue hands one day.

I have had good luck with Carbona ...they make all kinds based on stain you are trying to remove.
