I've read the article on defunkd about cleaning vintage shirts....excellent information.
I have two questions that I didn't see addressed regarding bleach.
Is it safe to use bleach on a 100% nylon jersey?
&
Is it safe to use bleach on an iron-on graphic tee?
Re: Bleach safely?
Good question, never had experience with it. But bleach is corrosive, it might eat away at the iron on material really quickly.
Since nylon is an artificial fiber - and basically plastic - it probably wont have any effect on it at all.
Always start with it really diluted to test - and let us know what results you get!

Re: Bleach safely?
Any suggestion on how to safely remove stains from an iron-on tee?
Re: Bleach safely?
If it's white - you can try diluted bleach locally...but i have found if the rest of the shirt isn't a clean white you'll get a reverse stain - a really white spot on an off white shirt.
Same goes for Oxyclean.
What iron on shirt is worthy of the fuss? Shaun Cassidy?

Re: Bleach safely?
Hey, I've bleached iron-ons with no trouble. (One I sold the same day I listed it on etsy- totally worth the fuss!) Go ahead and do it if it's true white with no ringer.
Re: Bleach safely?
I soaked it in oxyclean for a few hours. It removed most of the stain. I'm going to have it soak another round. Might do the trick
