Step 1: Gather Your Supplies
Before you get started, make sure that you have all the supplies you’ll need to tackle the stain. These will include some liquid laundry detergent, a white cloth, and some clean water.
Step 2: Apply Detergent to the Stain
Start by pouring a small amount of liquid laundry detergent onto the stained area and then work it into fabric with your fingertips. Make sure to use a gentle scrubbing motion and avoid scrubbing too hard to avoid damaging the fabric.
Step 3: Blot the Stain with Cloth
Next, take the white cloth and begin gently blotting the stained area. This will help to lift the stain from the fabric and absorb it into the cloth.
Step 4: Rinse with Water
Finally, rinse the area with cold water. This will help to remove any remaining detergent and particles of the stain. Once finished, allow the fabric to air dry.
