Step-by-Step Process
- Lay the stained fabric on a clean surface and pour some rubbing alcohol directly onto the area.

Tips
- Always rinse the fabric several times to make sure all traces of the stain-removing products are gone.
- Be sure to check any labels on the fabric before cleaning to make sure you're using the right method and products.
- Test the cleaning method on a hidden part of the fabric before applying it to the stained area.
