Removing Fresh Stains

  1. Start by blotting up any excess liquid with a paper towel before the stain has time to set in.
  2. Mix together some mild dishwashing liquid and warm water.
  3. Soak your shirt in the solution for about 30 minutes.
  4. Select a gentle cycle on your washing machine, plug it in with a suitable detergent, and add your shirt.
  5. 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

  1. Start by soaking affected area in lukewarm water for 10-15 minutes.
  2. Apply a small amount of laundry detergent directly onto the stain, and scrub gently.
  3. Rinse the area thoroughly with lukewarm water.
  4. Mix together a solution consisting of 1/3 white vinegar, 2/3 water, and pour it over the stain.
  5. Allow area to sit for about 15 minutes.
  6. Wash the shirt in the washing machine, using a regular cycle and detergent.
  7. Inspect the area of the stain and repeat the process if necessary.

Using Other Methods

  • Try applying a mixture of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide to the affected area.
  • Another popular method involves the use of rubbing alcohol.
  • Mix 1 part rubbing alcohol and 1 part water, and apply it to the stain.
  • Gently massage the solution into the fabric fibers.
  • Rinse the area once finished and add your shirt to the washing machine.
  • If the stain is still there, repeat the process until you achieve your desired results.
