Treat stains as soon as possible after staining. The older the stain, the more difficult it will be to remove.
All stain removal methods should be applied prior to laundering washable garments. Stains that have been laundered and dried are almost impossible to remove.
Rub the dampened stain with bar soap such as, Ivory or Lux, and relaunder in the usual manner.
