Add a few drops of laundry detergent and scrub affected area with a soft cloth or sponge. Scrub gently and don't use too much water to avoid spreading the stain.

Mix up an enzyme cleaner using ¼ teaspoon of baking soda and ¼ cup of white vinegar per quart of warm water. Soak the item in the solution for an hour, then rinse with cool water.
Step 4 - Blot Dry with Towels
Once the item is rinsed off, use a fresh towel to blot the area dry.
