4. Soak in a solution of 1 quart warm water and 1 tablespoon vinegar for one hour.

5. Rinse with water. Allow to dry.

6. For delicate fabrics, apply alcohol and cover with a pad dampened with alcohol. Let stand as long as stain is being removed. Change pad as it picks up stain. Keep stain and pad moist with alcohol and blot occasionally with clean absorbent material. Continue as long as any stain is being removed.

7. Rinse with water.

8. If any stain remains, use chlorine bleach as directed in step 9.

9. Chlorine bleach should not be used on certain fabrics. Test an inconspicuous area of fabric to be sure it will not be discolored. Use a solution of 1 teaspoon bleach to 1 tablespoon of water. Apply with a dropper. Do not allow this solution to remain on the fabric more than 2 minutes. When the stain is removed, or after 2 minutes, flush with water onto clean absorbent material. Apply 1 teaspoon of vinegar and again flush with water. Be sure that all bleach is removed. 10. Wash in hot water with laundry detergent and Oxi Clean or Clorox 2 and rinse in warm water.
