What kind of liquid laundry detergent should I use?

Any liquid laundry detergent that is appropriate for the fabric of the Anorak is fine to use.

Do I need to use a toothbrush?

Using a toothbrush can help to get rid of any remaining stain, so it is recommended to have one on-hand just in case.

What You'll Need:

White vinegar
Baking soda
Liquid laundry detergent
At least one microfiber cloth
A toothbrush
A cup

Steps to Clean Salad Dressing Stains:

Mix 1 tablespoon of white vinegar and 2 tablespoons of baking soda in a cup.
Saturate a microfiber cloth with vinegar and soda mix, then scrub the affected area of the Anorak.
Mix 1 capful of liquid laundry detergent into a bowl of warm water.
Soak the Anorak in the mixture for 5 minutes.
Remove the Anorak from the bowl and let it air-dry.
Once the Anorak is dry, use a toothbrush to scrub off any remaining stain.

Tips:

If part of the Anorak is made of leather or suede, do not try to scrub the stain with vinegar and baking soda. Instead, take it to a professional cleaner.
Do not rub stain vigorously. Be gentle and use mild pressure.
Once you finish cleaning, have a look over the Anorak. If there's still a stain, repeat the steps again.
