Let the stains soak and rinse well in cool water. If any spots are left treat with zout laundry stain remover before you wash it. <br />Hope that helps!!!Kennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01746177989162437914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4967132325525540220.post-90393338548494938772012-10-20T06:58:16.192-07:002012-10-20T06:58:16.192-07:00I'm so sorry, Jen!
