Things You Will Need
- Dish soap
- Warm Water
- Cotton rags
- Soft brush
Steps to Follow
- Mix a small amount of dish soap into a bowl of warm water. You should use enough soap to create a lather and suds when mixed together.
- Soak a cotton rag into the soapy mixture. Make sure the rag is damp and wring out any excess liquid before moving forward.
- Gently rub the stained area with damp rag. Rubbing in a circular motion is more effective than scrubbing too harshly.

- Air-dry the dress completely, then go over the area again with a soft brush. This will help bring the shine back to the fabric.
Tips and Precautions
