Steps to Clean

  1. Scrape off excess foreign material.

  3. Blot immediately.
  4. Using a clean white cloth, sponge the stain with the dry cleaning solvent.
  5. Blot until the solvent is absorbed.
  6. If the stain remains, mix one tablespoon of liquid dishwashing detergent and one tablespoon of white vinegar with two cups of warm water. Sponge the stain with this solution. Blot until the liquid is absorbed.
  7. Sponge with cold water and blot dry to remove the detergent/vinegar solution.
