What You'll Need

  • A bowl or bucket
  • 2 parts cold water
  • 1 part distilled white vinegar
  • Liquid dish soap
  • Borax
  • White cloth

Instructions

  1. Mix together two parts cold water with one part white vinegar in a bowl or bucket.
  2. Add a few drops of liquid dish soap and a tablespoon of borax to the mixture and stir until dissolved.
  3. Dip a white cloth into the solution and wring it out so that it is damp, but not dripping.
  4. Lightly dab the affected area of the cardigan with cloth and allow solution to sit for 10 minutes.
  5. Rinse the fabric with cold water and repeat the process if necessary.
  6. Hang the cardigan to dry once the stain has been removed.

Tips and Warnings

  • Be sure to test the solution on a small, inconspicuous area of the cardigan before using it on the stain.
  • Do not use hot water or a washing machine, as hot water can set the stain.
  • Do not use bleach or other harsh chemicals, as they can damage the fabric.
