What You'll Need
- Mild detergent or dish soapy water
- A clean, soft cloth
- A sponge or soft-bristled brush
Step 1: Pre-Treat Stain
First, dilute a small amount of detergent in warm water to create a sudsy solution, then use a sponge or brush to gently rub the stain with the mixture. Make sure not to scrub too hard in order to prevent any damage to fabric.
Step 2: Rinse with Cold Water
Once the stain is pre-treated, rinse with cold water. This will help remove any lingering soapy residue that may be left on the fabric.
Step 3: Dry Thoroughly
Finally, it's important to make sure the jacket is completely dry before storing or wearing. Ideally, the jacket should be hung up to air dry away from direct sunlight.
