Washables: Let dry, then brush off as much as possible. Apply a gentle detergent, such as Woolite, and water. Rub to form suds, then rinse. Next, bleach any remaining stain with a combination of one part white vinegar and one part water.

Nonwashables: If the care label says dry clean only, let dry, then carefully brush off as much as possible. Use an eyedropper to apply a solution made from one tablespoon of liquid dishwashing detergent, like Ivory, and one cup water. Rinse with cold water.
