				| 
 |  
				| I'll spare the details as to why I'm innocent of ignorance, but a hat bled onto a yellow shirt while in the washing machine.  I googled it and sure enough, it can be fixed, but I don't know how in Korea.  All the products listed on the internets were American, and not available at the few Home Pluses and E-Marts I've checked out.  Can anyone help? 
 Oh, and the spot is very small, about 10mm x 3mm.  Everything else faded away while air drying in the sun, which was one thing that some people said would work, and it did.

				| If its a white shirt, try 유한락스 brand: 
 도마 행주  용
 
 It is an antimicrobial cleaner that comes in a 500g white plastic container with an orange pump top.

				| Sorry, should've mentioned the shirt is yellow (I edited my post to reflect this).  Thanks for the advice, though. |  |

				| Try hairspray. Spray the stain and blot with a paper towel. Odd, but works. |  |

				| Take it to a dry-cleaning place and let a pro handle it. The price will be very reasonable at only a couple bucks. |  |

				| Dalem, oh my gosh, I never thought of that.  Thanks, I'll do that this week.  As for the monkey's blood, I drank some and it did nothing.  The vinegar makes it burn when I pee.  If the dry cleaners don't work, I'll try the hairspray and then the oxyclean.  Thanks everyone! |  |
