Mix 2-3 drops of mild liquid soap or detergent with two tablespoons of cold water. Use a soft cloth to dab the stain with the soapy solution. Do not rub it in as this may spread the stain further. Allow the fabric to soak up the solution for 5-10 minutes.
Carefully rinse the area with cold water. Occasionally blot the area with a clean, damp cloth to ensure all soap has been rinsed away.
Carefully apply a stain remover directly onto the stain. Allow the stain remover to sit for 30-60 minutes before rinsing it off with a damp cloth.
Machine wash the fabric as you would normally. Be sure to use cold water and a gentle cycle. Do not dry fabric until you are certain the stain is completely gone.
Never do laundry again. Save time for things you ❤️
