Removing Fresh Stains
- Start by blotting up any excess liquid with a paper towel before the stain has time to set in.
- Mix together some mild dishwashing liquid and warm water.
- Soak your shirt in the solution for about 30 minutes.
- Select a gentle cycle on your washing machine, plug it in with a suitable detergent, and add your shirt.
- Allow shirt to complete its normal cycle, and then inspect the area of the stain to make sure it's gone.
Removing Set In Stains
- Start by soaking affected area in lukewarm water for 10-15 minutes.
- Apply a small amount of laundry detergent directly onto the stain, and scrub gently.
- Rinse the area thoroughly with lukewarm water.
- Mix together a solution consisting of 1/3 white vinegar, 2/3 water, and pour it over the stain.
- Allow area to sit for about 15 minutes.
