After cleaning, inspect the stained area.
If you still notice a stain, repeat the treatment.
If the stain is gone, you’ve got the option to dry it using the clothes dryer.
The dryer’s high heat, especially for synthetic fabrics, can make removing the stain very difficult.
Let it sit an hour and wash it as usual.
Also, you only need to soak items in diluted chlorine bleach for 30 minutes.
