• Wash the clothes with clean water instantly to stop the stain from drying.
• Pour hot water into a basin and add a bleach-free liquid laundry detergent, such as GH Seal star Tide. The amount used to hand wash a blouse, plus a couple of splashes of ammonia, should suffice. Immerse the garment in the solution after stirring it. Allow the stain to soak for 30 minutes to an hour after rubbing it in with your fingers.
• If the stain is stubborn, soak it overnight, rubbing it occasionally. It will soon begin to fade. To speed things up, make a new solution or add a bit more ammonia. When the stain has been removed or lightened to the greatest extent possible, rinse the garment, rub in a little more liquid laundry detergent, and wash as usual. As with any stain, air-dry the garment until the stain is gone. A hot dryer will set the stain, making it more difficult to remove.
