Pre-Treatment Steps
- First, rinse the stained area with cold water as soon as possible after the spill occurs.
- If needed, apply a pre-treatment solution such as a laundry detergent specifically formulated for removing stains.
- After applying the pre-treatment, allow it to sit for a few minutes before proceeding to the next step.
Treating the Stain
- Fill a sink or bucket with lukewarm water and a few drops of a gentle laundry detergent.
- Submerge the stained area of the maxi dress and let it soak for 30 minutes.
- Gently rub the stained area with a clean cloth or soft brush.
- Rinse the area with cool water.
Post-Treatment Care
- To prevent fading or discoloration of fabric, add a color-safe bleach to final rinse cycle in the washing machine.
- Allow the dress to air dry rather than using a clothes dryer.
- If necessary, repeat the above steps until the stain is completely gone.
