What You'll Need
- White cloth
- Soap
- Hydrogen peroxide
- Baking soda
- Vinegar
Step 1: Blot the Stain with a White Cloth
Start by taking a white cloth and blotting the stain lightly with it. The goal is to absorb as much moisture out of the pillow as possible without spreading the stain further.
Step 2: Make a Soap Solution
Mix a few drops of liquid dish soap with warm water and wet the cloth with this solution. Try not to saturate the pillow; just use enough to dampen the cloth.
Step 3: Blot Stain with the Soap Solution
Start blotting the stain with the damp cloth. Do this gently and keep adding more soap solution as needed. Blot instead of rubbing; this will avoid spreading the stain further.
Step 4: Rinse with Water
Rinse the area with cold water. This will help rinse away the soap solution.
Step 5: Treat with Hydrogen Peroxide
Take a sponge and soak it in hydrogen peroxide. Gently dab the stain with sponge and let it sit for a few minutes. The hydrogen peroxide should help remove any remaining stains.
Step 6: Rinse with Cold Water
Rinse area with cold water again to remove any remaining hydrogen peroxide. Be sure to rinse thoroughly.
Step 7: Treat with Baking Soda and Vinegar
Mix baking soda and vinegar together to create a paste. Spread the paste on the stained area and let sit for about 10 minutes. This should help to remove any remaining staining.
Step 8: Rinse and Dry
Rinse the area again with cold water and then dry with a clean cloth. Your pillow should be looking good as new!
