What You'll Need:
- Sponge
- Warm water
- Mild soap or gentle detergent
- Soft cloth
Step 1: Blot the Stain Immediately
If the stain is still wet, try to blot the excess with a soft cloth or paper towels. Don’t scrub or rub the stain. This could cause it to spread further.
Step 2: Apply a Soap Mixture
Mix a small amount of mild soap with warm water in a bowl. Use a sponge to gently apply the mixture to the stain. Don’t scrub it too hard, because this could cause fibers of your business suit to fray.
Step 3: Rinse with Cold Water
Once soap mixture has been applied, rinse the affected area with cold water. Again, use a gentle touch when rinsing to avoid causing damage to the fabric.
Step 4: Dry Area
Use a soft cloth or paper towels to pat the area dry. Don't rub it too hard, as this can cause the stain to spread even further. If necessary, repeat Steps 1-3 until the stain is completely removed.
