This is intended as a guide based on our experience with readily available household products. Spot removal is not guaranteed.
Solutions:
- Detergent: Mix 1/4tsp colorless mild detergent in 1 cup water
- Amonia: mix tblsp clear amonia in ½ cup water
- Vinegar: mix 1/3 cup water vinegar in 2/3 cup water
- Dry cleaning solvent: apply standard rubbing alcohol to clean cloth and blot.
Follow each step in order, only going to the next one if the stain doesn’t remove. We suggest a portable extractor with water only as first attempt and to flush in between steps
