Gently squeeze out excess water without wringing.
Working conditions
: Prepare in a well-ventilated area (open a window). Lay the garment on a clean towel.
Amount of alcohol
Pour 5 ml of pure alcohol (about 1 teaspoon) into a small container.
Use a cotton ball or cotton swab.
Precise application:
Soak the cotton ball with up to 2-3 ml of alcohol (the ball should be damp, not dripping).
Gently dab the stained area for 30-60 seconds, without rubbing.
Treatment time
Leave on for 2 minutes, then immediately rinse the area with clean water for 1 minute.
Repeat if necessary.
You can repeat the process once, using another 2-3 ml of alcohol, if the stain is visibly lighter but not sufficiently faded.
Final wash
Wash the garment immediately in the washing machine, at the temperature indicated on the care label, with your usual detergent.
Important to remember:
Total amount of alcohol no more than: 10 ml per item.
Never apply to wool, silk, viscose, or delicate fabrics.
Always rinse thoroughly before using alcohol (bleach + alcohol = danger).
This method will not remove the stain; it may only lighten it, especially on dark fabrics.
Never mix bleach and alcohol. Make sure the fabric has been thoroughly rinsed before trying this method, and never test it on delicate fabrics.
Treatment time
Leave on for 2 minutes, then immediately rinse the area with clean water for 1 minute.
