SUPPLIES:
1. If you are using mild soap (Ivory or woolite are some examples), mix 1part soap with two parts distilled water in one of the empty spray bottles. Distilled water is used to lessen the chance of the dryer heat exposing calcium in tap water. A spray bottle
will make application more precise (you can usually find them at your nearest dollar store).
2. Place a clean white towel DIRECTLY under the soiled area (if the stain is on a bag, for example, you'll need to slip the towel inside).
3. Spray soap solution onto soiled area. If you are using a stain stick, apply product to washcloth or cheesecloth dampened with distilled water.
4. Use the cheesecloth (or white washcloth) to LIGHTLY clean area using circular movements untill the area is clean.
5. Fill the other empty spray bottle with distilled water. Flush the area with water. Soak some of the water up with another piece of dry cheesecloth (or dry end of washcloth) and repeat. This rinses the soap from the fabric.
6. Dry the area with a hair dryer set on medium heat, constantly moving the hairdryer from side to side over the wet area. Drying the area quickly prevents a ring that may form around the area if it air dries.
If the area is still soiled, repeat the above steps untill desired cleanliness is acheived.
