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 1 tablespoon of liquid dishwashing detergent, like Ivory, and 1 cup water. Rinse with cold water.
