Hand soap on sweater?

i JUST bought a new very expensive sweater. wen i went to wash my hands it squirted all over it. it says to hand wash cold. so i rinsed the spots with water, however, there is now a stain. the sweater is green, it smells heavely of soap and there is a blue ring around it. how do i get it out?Hand soap on sweater?
Fill a small load in washer with cold water, leave lid open. Let the sweater sit in the water overnight. On HAND WASH cycle, let the washer spin and drain. Repeat, trying to avoid the agitate cycle, unless you trust your washer. (I don't trust mine).





Lay out to dry as usual. If this doesn't work, try the dry cleaners.Hand soap on sweater?
Don't put it in the machine to spin!





Trust me, it will stretch it even on the delicate cycle.





Get some Oxy Clean, mix in a cup or bowl with hot water.





Take the area of the soap on the sweater and place in small tub or a rubbermaid type container.





Fill the container with cool water and then add Oxy Clean. Let it sit for several hours and then rinse area with cool clean water.





Place sweater on a couple of towels and lay flat. Use another towel on the top of the sweater and push down to get excess water up.


Remove top towel and let air dry.
