Gather Supplies

Before you start, make sure that you have all the supplies you need. You will need a white cloth, White Vinegar, a soft-bristled brush, and laundry detergent. You may also want to have spot cleaning solvent or rubbing alcohol on hand, depending on the fabric of your blazer.

Pre-Test Solution

Before using any cleaning solution, it is important to pre-test it on an inconspicuous area to ensure it won’t damage the fabric of your blazer. Dip corner of a white cloth in the cleaning solution and apply to the area for a few seconds. If the fabric appears to be ok, then you can use the cleaning solution.

Removing Varnish Stains

If you have determined that the fabric of your blazer can handle the cleaning solution, then you can begin to remove the stain. To start, wet the stained area with a damp cloth and blot until the area is damp but not saturated. Next, dip your soft bristled brush in the cleaning solution and begin to gently scrub the stained area using circular motions. Once you have completed this step, rinse area with water and a clean cloth. If the stain still persists, you can repeat the steps until the stain is completely gone.

Final Steps

Once the stain has been removed, make sure to thoroughly rinse the area with a damp cloth and let blazer air dry. Once the blazer is dry, you can inspect the area to ensure the stain is completely gone before putting it away. And voila! You have successfully removed the varnish stain from your blazer!
