Don’t rub the stain.
Try using as high a water pressure as possible to help with mechanical action in removing the dye.
If you have a stain pre-treater, use it.
Then rinse before putting it into the washing machine.
On the other hand, if you only have detergent, you might work with that as well.
Ahoni suggests pouringTide Ultra Oxi with Odor Eliminatorsdirectly onto the stain.
Gently rub the fabric together to help work the detergent into the garment’s fibers in a circular motion.
Then, let it sit for 20 minutes.
Check the label for the proper water temperature.
If youre not sure, keep in mind that most things can be washed in cold water.
Instead, check to see if the stain has been removed.
If the stain is gone, put the item in the dryer with the rest of your clothing.
If theres still some excess staining, repeat the process.
