The quickest solution is to replace your dirty garment. So, tip no. 1: always have a second set of clothes at hand (at the office, in your car, for example.

Another annoying thing, which has nothing to do with stains, but good to mention at this place, for those who use these regularly, is getting a ladder in your stocking. Also in this case it's best to have a spare pair in your bag.
