What You Need

• Baking soda
• Sponge
• White vinegar or lemon juice
• Toothbrush
• Clean cloth

Step 1: Blot the Stain

First, use a clean cloth to blot the stain vigorously. Don't rub it - you want to pat the stain gently so that it won't spread.

Step 2: Make a Baking Soda Paste

Mix equal parts of baking soda and water making sure the paste isn't too thin. Apply paste on the stain and let it sit for 15 minutes.
