last ditch effort at stain removal. Please help! [View all]

I pretreated the spots, which unfortunately I found after several months because it was an out of season sweater, and washed in cold water. I didn't have a soak period. Should I treat the spots again with both spot cleaner and detergent and let it sit for awhile before putting it in the washing machine? Will dry cleaning help?

It is a cotton sweater and was expensive (for me) and the color would fade if I bleached it. I really don't know what the spots are from but I suspect something that happened during cooking.
