Materials Needed:
- Baking Soda
- White Vinegar
- Liquid Detergent
- Oxygen-based Bleach (optional)
- Cold Water
Instructions
- Start by making a paste of baking soda and water. Rub the paste into the stain.
- Let it sit for at least 20 minutes before washing.
- If needed, make an oxygen-based bleach solution and add it to the wash.
- Add a scoop of liquid detergent to the washing machine and fill it with cold water.
- Pour in some white vinegar and let the cycle run.
- After the cycle is complete, double check if the stain has been completely removed.
- If the stain is still present, repeat the process until it is gone.
Tips
- Be sure not to use hot water as that could make the stain permanent.
- Do not use colored fabric softeners as this can leave a mark on the fabric.
- Be sure to read the instructions on any oxygen-based bleaching product.
