Begin by mixing 2 tablespoons of ammonia with 1 tablespoon of baking soda and a tablespoon of cold water in a cup. Stir until baking soda is dissolved, then use a soft-bristled brush to apply the mixture gently to the stained area.
Continue applying the mixture in circular motions until entire area is covered. Leave the mixture to sit on the stain for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, use a clean white cloth to blot the mixture away. Do not rub or scrub the stain, as this could cause it to spread.
Once the mixture has been removed, use an iron to press tie. Make sure the iron is set on low heat to avoid burning or damaging the fabric. Leave the iron on stained area for 30 seconds.
Repeat steps 1 - 4 as many times as necessary to completely remove the stain. If the stain persists, consider taking it to a dry cleaner for professional stain removal.
