Things You Will Need
-
Fill up a bucket or sink with cool water and add approximately 1 tbsp. of soap detergent to the mix.
-
Soak the fabric in the water/detergent mixture for at least 30 minutes.
-
Before draining the water, rub the stain using another part of the fabric a couple of times to loosen up the stain's bond to the material.
-
Drain the water and rinse the fabric. Do not worry if you did not remove all of the detergent from the fabric.
-
Wash in the washing machine using cold water, but do not put in the dryer.
-
If the stain has not completely disappeared after the washing cycle, repeat Steps 1 through 5, allowing the fabric to soak overnight.
-
Once the stain is completely removed after a washing cycle, dry it in the dryer or hang out to dry.
