What You Need to Get Started
- Laundry detergent
- Borax powder (optional)
- Hydrogen peroxide (optional)
- Clean cloths/sponges
Instructions
- As soon as you notice the stain, rinse it with cool water. This will help to loosen the stain and make it easier to remove later on.
- Apply laundry detergent directly to the stained area and gently agitate it with a clean cloth or sponge.
- Rinse the area with cool water to remove the detergent.
- If the stain still remains, create a solution of one part Borax powder to two parts water. Apply this mixture directly on the stain and agitate it with a clean cloth or sponge. Rinse the area with cool water.
- If the stain persists, you can use hydrogen peroxide in the same way as the Borax solution. Be sure to rinse with cool water after applying hydrogen peroxide to stain.
- Once all of the stain is gone, put the cotton twill in the wash with warm water and laundry detergent. Dry completely when finished.
