Begin by rubbing a small amount of warm water on the stain to remove any excess product. Then, apply a gentle spot cleaner or a few drops of mild detergent directly to the stain. Using a clean cloth, gently work liquid into the fabric in a circular motion. Allow the spot cleaner or detergent to soak into the fabric for several minutes.
After pre-treatment has had time to set, place the garment in the washing machine with other delicates. Choose a gentle cycle and use cold water. Do not add any bleach or fabric softener, as these can damage fabric fibers. Allow the garment to air dry after washing.
Once the garment is dry, hang it outside and treat stain with a diluted solution of fabric softener and water. Dilute one part fabric softener to five parts water, and spray the solution directly onto the stain. Allow the garment to dry, and check the area for any remaining stain. Repeat these steps as necessary until the stain is removed.
