Just mix one tablespoon of liquid dish soap with nine-and-a-half ounces of water into a spray bottle. As soon as a spill happens, immediately use this cleaning solution and then wash your clothes like you normally do in the laundry machine. If your item isn’t machine washable you should still use the spray and then take your stained item to the dry cleaner ASAP.

Here are some common stains and how to quickly remove them.

Red Wine

Use the cleaning solution on the stain and blot it with a white cotton cloth and then use hot water. After your finished, use white vinegar. Next, put a bowl under your fabric and secure it with a rubber band. Use salt to coat the spot and pour boiling water over the fabric.
