Step 1: Blotting the Stain

Gently press a clean paper towel onto spot and let towel absorb liquid. Don't rub the spot; this could cause the stain to spread further.

Step 2: Making a Solution

Mix together a solution of two cups of warm water with one tablespoon of dishwashing liquid or laundry detergent.

Step 3: Applying Solution

Put some of the mixture onto a clean cloth, cotton swab, or sponge and blot it onto stained area. Continue blotting until stain begins to lighten or disappear.

Step 4: Washing Your Capris

Once the stain is gone, launder your pants using hottest water that's safe for the fabric. Then, check to ensure that the stain has completely vanished before drying the pants.
