What You'll Need
- White vinegar
- Dish soap
- Salt
- Cotton swabs
- Paper towels
Step 1: Pre-Treat the Stain
To pre-treat the stain, combine equal parts white vinegar and dish soap with a pinch of salt. Dip a cotton swab into the mixture and gently dab it onto stained area. Allow it to sit for 30 minutes before moving on to the next step.
Step 2: Rinse the Fabric
Rinse the pre-treated area with cool water and blot it dry with paper towels. Do not rub or scrub the fabric, as this could cause damage.
Step 3: Wash the Garment
Fill a sink or a washing machine with cool water. Add a small amount of liquid dish soap and agitate the water until suds form. Turn the garment inside out and submerge it in the soapy water. Let it soak for 10-15 minutes, then drain sink or washing machine.
Step 4: Rinse and Hang Dry
Rinse the garment with cool water until the soap is completely gone. Gently squeeze out any excess water and hang the item up to dry.
