What You'll Need

Baking soda
Vinegar
Warm water
Sponge
Towel

Step 1: Blot Stain

Take a dry towel and press down lightly on the stain. This will help absorb some of the liquid and make it easier to tackle the stain.

Step 2: Create a Baking Soda Paste

Mix together equal parts of baking soda and water to create a paste that can be applied to stained fabrics. Apply the paste directly onto stain, taking care to rub it in gently. Let the paste sit for 15 minutes.

Step 3: Rinse the Stain

After 15 minutes have passed, rinse the stained area with warm water. This should help loosen the stain and make it easier to remove.

Step 4: Apply Vinegar Solution

Mix together one part white vinegar and two parts warm water. Use a sponge to apply the solution to the stain, gently rubbing it in to ensure the solution is properly saturating the fabric. Let the solution sit for another 15 minutes.

Step 5: Rinse Again

After 15 minutes have passed, rinse the stained area with warm water once more.

Step 6: Wash in Laundry Machine

Place the raincoat in the washing machine. Select the delicate cycle setting and use a mild detergent.

Step 7: Hang or Lay Flat to Dry

Once the washing cycle is complete, hang the raincoat to dry or lay it flat on a towel.

Step 8: Rejoice in Your Stain-free Raincoat!

Voila! Your raincoat is good as new and ready for any weather.
