Steps To Follow
- The first step is to scrape away as much of the solid residue as possible. You can do this by using a butter knife or similar tool.
- Blot the area with a damp cloth to absorb as much of the liquid feces as possible.
- Mix 1 teaspoon of dishwashing liquid in 250 ml (1 cup) of warm water.
- Using a clean cloth, apply and rub the mixture over the stain in a circular motion.
- Use a brush to scrub affected area gently.
- Rinse the area with cold water, and blot with a dry cloth to absorb excess moisture.
- Prepare a solution of oxygen-based bleach, laundry detergent and warm water according to instructions on the packaging.
- Using a clean cloth, dab the mixture onto the stained area. Allow it to sit for at least 15 minutes before rinsing it off.
- Machine wash item in the warmest water setting the fabric can handle. If possible, include a pre-soak prior to washing.
- Inspect the garment and repeat the process if necessary.
Things to Remember
