Step 3: Wet the Stain Area with Cold Water

Before applying any cleaning solution, first wet the stain with cold water. Use a gentle circular motion and continue until the entire area is damp. Rinse the area with plenty of cold water.

Step 4: Apply a DIY Solution

Mix a solution of detergent and white vinegar. Make sure you choose a detergent that is compatible with the type of fabric of blazer. Moisten a white cloth with the mixture and use it to lightly scrub stain in a circular motion. Rinse area with plenty of cold water. Repeat this process until the stain is removed.

Step 5: Dry the Blazer

Pat area dry using a clean, white cloth. If necessary, use a steam iron on a low setting to loosen the stain further. Allow the area to air dry.
