Things You'll Need:

  • Cold water
  • White vinegar
  • Hydrogen peroxide
  • Laundry detergent

Instructions:

  1. Act quickly. The sooner you start treating the stain, the better chance you have of getting it out.
  2. Dab excess liquid and blot. Use cold water and blot stain until no more liquid is coming out.
  3. Mix 1 part white vinegar and 2 parts water in a bowl. Soak a clean cloth or paper towel in the mixture, then gently rub the stained area.
  4. Rinse with cold water. Blot the area again to remove the vinegar-water mixture.
  5. If the stain doesn't come out with just vinegar and water, mix 1 part hydrogen peroxide (3%) and 2 parts water in a bowl. Soak a clean cloth or paper towel in the mixture, then gently rub the stained area.
  6. Test the peroxide solution for colorfastness. Before soaking the entire area, dab a small amount of the solution onto an inconspicuous area to make sure it won’t discolor the fabric.
  7. Once the stain is gone, rinse the area with cold water and blot again.
  8. Apply laundry detergent directly to the stain. Rub it into the fabric and leave it for 15 minutes.
  9. Rinse area with cold water again, then launder the garment as usual.

Tips:

  • Always test the cleaning solutions on a hidden area of the fabric first.
  • If the stain still remains after laundering, repeat the above steps.
  • When laundering, use cold water and set the cycle to gentle.
