What You'll Need
- Vinegar
- Water
- Dry cleaning solvent
- Towel
Instructions
- As soon as you notice the stain, quickly blot fabric with a towel.
- Mix equal parts vinegar and water in a bowl and stir until it's fully combined.
- Use the cloth to gently dab and scrub the stained area.
- If the stain persists, use the dry cleaning solvent and again blot area with a towel.
Precautions
- Always test the vinegar-water mixture or the dry cleaning solvent on a hidden portion of garment first; some fabrics may be sensitive and/or react negatively to these cleaners.
- Be careful not to rub the garment; it may cause fabric to fray and wear.
- Wash the spot separately with cold water if the stain is still present.
