Enlightenment: Stained Tee Shirt

Attribute it to my unsteady hand or my equally unsteady brain -- I've an above-average rate of spilling drinks on my tee shirt. Usually these are drinks that leave behind a stain that won't go away in a single wash cycle. Sometimes, nonchalantly, I wear such tee shirts to Office and the questions about the visible stain on my tee shirt are usually answered thus: "I'm partly to blame as I spilt the drink, and the Washing Machine is partly to blame because it didn't wash well." UNTIL I saw this TV commercial for Surf Matic (our washing powder) which says 'Why blame your Washing Machine when what's not working is really your washing powder' -- well, the commercial asks us to switch to Surf Matic, but we already use it. So, today's questions about the stain were answered thus: "I'm partly to blame as I spilt the drink, and the Washing Powder is partly to blame because it didn't wash well."
