What You'll Need:

  • Cold water
  • White vinegar
  • Mild dishwashing detergent
  • Coffee filter
  • Lemon juice (optional)

Steps to Remove the Stain:

  1. Run cold water over stain until it is no longer visible.
  2. Mix one tablespoon of white vinegar and one tablespoon of mild dishwashing detergent in a bowl, stirring until blended.
  3. Using a clean sponge, very gently dab the affected area with the vinegar-detergent mixture, varying the pressure depending on severity of the stain.
  4. Allow mixture to sit for five to ten minutes, then rinse off with cold water.
  5. If the stain persists, pour a small amount of lemon juice onto a coffee filter, and place the filter on top of stain.
  6. Leave the filter in place for 15 minutes, then remove and rinse the fabric with cold water.
  7. Repeat as necessary until stain is completely removed.

Additional Tips and Advice:

  • Do not use hot or warm water, as this can set the stain.
  • Never rub harshly or scrub the fabric, as this can weaken the fabric fibers and cause pilling or fraying.
  • Never apply bleach directly to the fabric.
  • Be sure to check the garment’s care label before treating the stain.
