Materials Needed
- Clean white cloths
- Mild detergent or soap
- Vinegar
- Baking soda
Instructions
- As soon as possible, dab the stain with a damp cloth to prevent the stain from penetrating deeper into the fabric fibers.
- Mix a solution of equal parts warm water and mild detergent or soap. Apply this solution to stain and allow to sit for 5 minutes.
- Blot the stain with a clean white cloth, being careful not to rub the stain as this may cause it to spread.
- If necessary, mix a solution of 1 part white vinegar and 2 parts warm water. Apply this to the stain and let it sit for 10 minutes.
- Blot the stain again with a clean cloth. Repeat if necessary.
- If the stain is still visible, apply baking soda directly to stain and let it dry overnight.
- Vacuum or brush away the baking soda before laundering the item as normal.
