Step 1: Pre-treat with Detergent or Stain Remover

The first step is to pre-treat stain with a laundry detergent or other stain remover product. Gently rub product into the stained area and let it sit for a while before washing. This will help loosen the stain and aid in its removal.

Step 2: Wash According to Coat Instructions

After you've pre-treated the stain, wash the coat according to the instructions on the label. Use the highest water temperature listed, and choose the appropriate cycle for the coat (e.g. gentle cycle). Make sure to add recommended amount of detergent.

Step 3: Check the Stains Before Drying

Once the coat has been washed, take a look at the stained area and assess if the stain has come out. If it's still there, you may need to repeat the pre-treatment and washing process again. Once the stain is gone, you can dry the coat as usual.

Step 4: Use Vinegar or Enzyme-Based Cleaners

If the stain persists after several washes, try using a vinegar solution or an enzyme-based cleaner. Soak the stained area in a small bowl filled with the cleaner and wait a few minutes before washing the coat again. If the stain still doesn't come off, you may need to try scrubbing area with a toothbrush.
