Step 1: Blot Excess Medicine

Take a clean cloth and blot any excess medicine off of the scarf. Be gentle and do not rub too hard, as this could damage fabric.

Step 2: Create a Cleaning Solution

Mix one tablespoon of liquid laundry detergent, one tablespoon of white vinegar, and two cups of warm water in a bowl or container.

Step 3: Soak the Scarf

Place the stained area of the scarf in cleaning solution and let it soak for about 30 minutes.

Step 4: Rinse and Dry

Once the scarf has soaked, rinse it with cold water and then hang it to dry. If the stain is still visible, repeat the process until it is gone.
