A chili sauce stain can be removed by using a combination of hot water, a reliable detergent, and a quick response to the stain.
Remove any excess sauce from the item of clothing, and then blot the stain with the detergent and hot water, to remove the grease and break down the stain.
The alternative involves baking powder and cold water to absorb the stain. You should note that cold water on grease doesn't usually shift it, though. It will help remove things like natural sugars, and to an extent degrade the stain, but it's not standard practice.
By doing this, you will remove the grease. You can use a de-greasing agent directly in the wash if you wish. It will achieve the same outcome. If washing manually, you should let the detergent sit for up to an hour, with regular checks.
If your detergent can't remove the stain manually, or during a cycle in the washing machine, then it is recommended you seek professional cleaning assistance. They have access to stronger cleaning chemicals and detergents, which are unsafe for public use, but will work.
If a stain remains, you can dab some very diluted bleach on it, but only if it's a superficial color mark. If it's still a physical stain, you should avoid this. This option only applies to white clothing also.
