What You Will Need

- Spray bottle
- Soft-bristled brush
- Laundry detergent
- Wool-safe detergent
- White vinegar
- Clean cloth
- Stain remover (optional)
Steps to Remove the Stain
- Treat stain as quickly as possible. The longer you wait, the more difficult it will be to remove.
- Lay the garment flat on a surface. It's best to use a white towel as this will help you spot any remaining stains.
- Carefully check the clothing label for cleaning instructions. Some items may not be machine washable or require special detergents.
- Using a spray bottle, spray a generous amount of dry-cleaning solvent onto the stained area. Allow it to sit for several minutes.
- Gently scrub affected area with a soft-bristled brush. This will help to further break down the stain.
- Once you are satisfied you have removed as much of the stain as possible, rinse the item in cool water.
- If the stain remains, mix together a solution of laundry detergent, a capful of white vinegar, and two cups of cold water. Soak the affected area in this solution for 20-30 minutes.
- Rinse area again and inspect the results. If there is still a trace of the stain, use a mild wool-safe detergent and soak for a further 20-30 minutes.
- Finally, rinse well and then blot the area with a clean cloth. If the stain persists after all these steps, you can test a small amount of stain remover in an inconspicuous area before attempting to clean the entire garment.
