Dab--don't rub--the stain with a clean sponge or rag soaked in cold water and lathered with regular dish soap.
Use ammonia for a particularly stubborn stain. Dab a little bit onto a fresh rag or sponge, dilute with cold water, and then dab onto the stain.
Repeat as necessary.
In extreme cases, you might have to sand down the stained area and refinish it.
