What You'll Need
- Dish soap
- White vinegar
- A sponge
- Powder laundry detergent
- Baking soda
- A toothbrush
- Hydrogen peroxide
Step One: Pre-treat the Stain
Start by applying some dish soap directly to the stain. Let it sit for several minutes before scrubbing it lightly with a damp sponge.
Step Two: Soak the Cardigan
Fill a basin or bucket with warm water, adding a few tablespoons of white vinegar. Soak the cardigan in this mixture for 15 minutes.
Step Three: Create a Paste
Mix equal parts powder laundry detergent and baking soda, creating a thick paste. Rub paste onto the affected area with a damp cloth.
Step Four: Scrub the Stain
Once the paste has had time to sit on the stain, use a toothbrush to gently scrubs the area. Make sure you do not scrub too hard, as this could cause damage to the fabric.
Step Five: Rinse the Cardigan
Once the stain has been scrubbed, rinse cardigan with cold water and hang it somewhere to dry.
Additional Tips for Stubborn Stains
- If the stain persists, try soaking the cardigan in a mixture of one part hydrogen peroxide and three parts water for 20-30 minutes.
- Once the stain has gone, rinse with cold water and hang to dry.
