- 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.

- Do not use colored fabric softeners as this can leave a mark on the fabric.
