Simple Green (in the automotive section) helps with grease based stains (spaghettie sauce, pizza sauce, french fries - you know, eat a few, wipe your hands on your pants, the boys do that all the time!)

I've used Cascade Dishwasher Liquid in a load of stained baseball paints and it helps "boost" the Shout in getting the stains out.

Forgot to add your liquid fabric softener? Don't worry - take a damp washcloth, pour the amount of softner on the wash cloth, let it soak in, then toss in the dryer with your clothes!
