Step 1: Blot the Stain
Gently blot the stain with a soft cloth or sponge. Blotting will help to absorb as much of the moisture as possible and reduce the chance of a permanent stain.
Step 2: Pre-treat the Area
Once you have blotted the stain, pre-treat the area with a mild detergent specifically designed for cleaning Tencel fabrics. Spray or rub the detergent in the direction of the stain. Let the detergent sit for 5-10 minutes before moving onto the next step.
Step 3: Use Hot Water for Rinse
Once you have pre-treated the stain, rinse the fabric with hot water. Make sure that you are rinsing the fabric in the same direction that the stain was originally applied. This will help to further remove the stain.
Step 4: Dry the Fabric
Finally, dry the fabric using a soft cloth or towel. Do not use a dryer or high heat setting on the fabric as this could potentially cause a permanent stain to form on fabric.
Conclusion
Using these steps, you should be able to safely and effectively clean pet stains from Tencel fabrics. If you find that stain is still present after following these steps, repeat the process or contact a professional cleaner.
