The first step is to blot stained area with a soft, dry cloth, to absorb some of the liquid. Don't press or rub the area, as this can cause the stain to spread and set in deeper.
In a bowl or container, mix together equal parts club soda and salt, stirring until dissolved. If necessary, you may also add a tablespoon of white vinegar.
Cover the stained area with the solution, using a soft cloth. Gently dab the solution into fabric, avoiding rubbing or scrubbing which can cause the stain to set in even more.
Allow the solution to soak into fabric for 10-15 minutes. During this time, monitor the area and avoid allowing the stain to spread further.
Once the solution has had enough time to work its magic, rinse with clear water. For best results, use lukewarm water.
Never do laundry again. Save time for things you ❤️
