1. Blot and Spray the Stain

Begin by blotting and spraying the stained area. Make sure to use an absorbent cloth and warm water while blotting the stain gently. Don’t scrub or rub the fabric too harshly, as this could cause it to pill. Once complete, spray the stained area with hair spray.

2. Rub and Rinse

After blotting and spraying, rub stained fabric together using your fingers. Work the solution into the fabric and then rinse area with cold water. If the stain still remains, don’t worry – there are more steps you can take!

3. Apply a Stain Remover

If the stain still persists, apply a commercial stain remover to affected area. Depending on the product, you may need to pre-treat the stain before doing this step, so follow instructions on the package carefully. After applying the product, allow it to sit on the fabric for 10 minutes.

4. Wash the Fabric

Once you've let the stain remover soak in the fabric, throw it in the washing machine on a cool cycle. Be sure to use only mild detergent, since harsh chemicals could damage the Angora fabric. For best results, use a color-safe bleach.

5. Air-Dry and Check

When the washing cycle is complete, air-dry the fabric to prevent it from shrinking. Once it is dry, check area to see if the stain has been removed. If not, repeat steps 1-4 until it has vanished completely.
