What You'll Need
- White vinegar
- Dish soap
- Cotton balls or cloth
- Hydrogen peroxide (3%)
- Hairspray
- Rubbing alcohol
Step 1: Blot Stain
Begin by blotting affected area with a clean cloth or cotton ball. Do not rub or scrub, which will only spread the stain. Continue to blot until as much liquid as possible has been soaked up.
Step 2: Pretreat with Vinegar
Mix one part white vinegar with two parts warm water in a shallow bowl. Dip a clean cloth or cotton ball into the mixture and gently blot the stained area, being careful not to rub the stained area.
Step 3: Wash with Dish Soap
Create a mixture of one part dish soap and two parts warm water. Apply a generous amount of the mixture to the stained area and work into a lather using your fingertips. Rinse thoroughly.
Step 4: Treat with Hydrogen Peroxide
If the stain persists, mix one part hydrogen peroxide with two parts warm water in a shallow bowl. Soak a clean cloth in the mixture and apply it to stain, allowing to sit for 5 minutes. Rinse thoroughly.
Step 5: Try Hairspray or Rubbing Alcohol
If the stain is still visible, try spritzing the area with hairspray or rubbing alcohol. Allow solution to sit for 5 minutes before blotting with a clean cloth. Rinse thoroughly. Repeat if necessary.
