What You Need
- White cloth
- Dishwashing liquid
- Stain remover (ammonia, peroxide, or enzymatic)
- Washing machine detergent
Instructions
- Take the clothing item off and dab the stain with a white cloth to soak up some of the spilled liquid.
- If there’s still liquid on the surface, mix one tablespoon of dishwashing liquid and a small amount of cold water to make a paste. Gently spread the paste over the stain with a damp cloth and leave it for five minutes.
- Rinse with cold water and dry with a clean cloth.
- If the stain remains, pretreat it with a stain remover like ammonia, peroxide, or an enzyme-based product. Be sure to read the manufacturer’s directions before applying.
- Rinse with cold water after applying the stain remover.
- Launder according to the manufacturer’s instructions, using the type of detergent and water temperature recommended.
Additional Tips
- If the fabric is delicate or you’re not sure what kind it is, test stain remover in a hidden area first.
- After laundering, check stain to see if it has been fully removed.
- If the stain remains after laundering, repeat the steps until it’s gone.
