Method 1: Using Baking Soda and Vinegar
- Create a paste by mixing two parts baking soda with one part white vinegar in a bowl.
- Dip an old toothbrush or rag into the paste, then gently scrub the paste onto the stain.
- Stay scrubbing until the stain has begun to fade, then rinse with cool water.
- Once all paste has been removed, lay the canvas item flat on a tarp or other waterproof surface, and let dry for about an hour.
Method 2: Washing with Dish Soap and Water
- Mix one part laundry detergent with five parts cold water in a bowl.
- Dip an old toothbrush or cloth into the solution, then gently scrub the solution onto the stain.
- Continue scrubbing until the stain has begun to fade, then rinse with cool water.
- Once the cleaning solution has been removed, lay the canvas item flat on a tarp or other waterproof surface, and let dry for about an hour.
Tips
- If the stain persists after following either of the above methods, try using a bit of rubbing alcohol.
- Be sure to check label of your fabric for special cleaning instructions before attempting to clean it.
