Step 1: Blot the Stain

Start by blotting area with white vinegar. Make sure to start from the outside and work inwards. This will help prevent the stain from spreading.

Step 2: Rub Soap Into the Stain

Using a bar of soap, rub it into the stain in a circular motion. Rinse the area with cold water when finished.

Step 3: Pre-treat With Detergent

Apply a pre-treatment detergent specifically designed for stubborn stains on the affected area. Follow the instructions on the packaging and let sit for at least 10 minutes.

Step 4: Wash in Cold Water

Finally, wash fabric in cold water and allow it to air dry. Be sure not to put fabric in the dryer, as the heat can set in the stain. If stain remains, repeat steps 2-4 until the stain is gone.
