Pre-Treat The Stain

Create a mixture of 5 parts water and 1 part detergent solution and spritz some of it directly onto the stain. Use a soft brush to work the solution into the fabric for about 30 seconds. Allow the solution to sit for about 10 minutes before rinsing it off with warm water.

Apply Rubbing Alcohol
