The stain should be slightly scratched without
ruining the cloth, rubbed with detergent and rinsed. In case it is
not eliminated, it should be rubbed with 1 unit of pure alcohol (96
degrees) mixed in 2 units of water and then washed with
lukewarm water.

Stretch the stained area of your cloth on the top
