Prespot your garment by flushing the area with cold or sparkling water and then set it aside for the dry cleaner. If your garment is machine friendly – here’s what to do:

Step 1: First flush the stain with cold water or dab the stain with a clean paper towel or clean cloth.

Step 2: Next, grab some hairspray from your medicine cabinet and spray the stained area with a generous amount of product. Let it set on the stain for five to ten minutes. Blot the area with a cloth to remove any remaining colour.

Step 3: Wash the garment as per the care label on the highest temperature setting as possible. When the cycle has finished, check if the stain has been removed before drying. You can repeat Step 2 if needed. 

Step 4: Dry your garment as per the care label instructions.
