What You'll Need
- Cold water
- Mild washing detergent or dish soap
- White vinegar
- A clean towel or cloth
- Mild rubbing alcohol (optional)
Instructions
- If the stain is still wet, gently blot it with a towel or clean cloth. Do not rub, as this will push the stain deeper into the material.
- Mix 1 teaspoon of mild washing detergent or dish soap with 1 cup of cold water.
- Mix 1 tablespoon of white vinegar with 1 cup of cold water in a separate bowl.
- Dip a clean, damp cloth in the soapy solution and dab it on the stain.
- Once the stain begins to lift, dip cloth in vinegar solution and dab it on the stain.
- Repeat steps 4 and 5 for stained areas until stain is gone. If a stain is particularly stubborn, you can try using a small amount of rubbing alcohol.
- Allow the area to air dry or use a clean, dry cloth to soak up any remaining moisture.
Additional Tips And Advice
- Always start with the gentlest approach first, such as cold water and a mild detergent, before trying something stronger like rubbing alcohol.
- When using the vinegar solution, always test it on a small, inconspicuous spot on the coat to make sure it won't discolor the fabric.
- Avoid using bleach, ammonia, or other strong cleansers, as they can damage the coat.
- Remember to always read and follow care instructions on the label.
