Instructions

  3. Soak stain in a mixture of organic cleaner or enzyme-based detergent for 15 minutes.
  4. Rinse area with cold water until detergent is completely gone.
  5. Blot dry with a clean, dry cloth.

Additional Tips

  • Always test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous part of the fabric before applying it to stained area.
  • If possible, air-dry the fabric rather than using a clothes dryer.
