Step 1: Spot Test

Before moving ahead, it is important to do a spot test. Take a cotton swab and dampen it with cold water and dab it onto a hidden part of the fabric. Then, apply a small amount of cleaning solution onto the same area. If there is no discoloration or damage, then the product is safe for use for the stain.

Step 2: Blot the Stain

Gently blot the area with a damp cloth until the stain is lifted. Do not rub as this may spread the stain and damage the fabric.

Step 3: Apply a Cleaning Solution

Choose a mild detergent that is suitable for the fabric. Dilute the detergent with water and apply it to the stained area. Allow it to soak in for five minutes.

Step 4: Handwash the Stain

If the stain persists, hand wash the item with a mild detergent. Submerge the item into the cleaning solution and agitate gently. Allow to soak for five minutes and rinse in cold water.

Step 5: Blot the Area

Once item has been rinsed, use a clean cloth to gently blot the area. Do not rub as this could still spread the stain and damage the fabric.

Step 6: Air Dry

Lay the item flat on a clean surface and let it air dry. If possible, place a white paper towel under the item to absorb any excess moisture.
