Splash some rubbing alcohol in 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of white vinegar in a sink of warm water to stain it. [substeps] You may need to get creative with this step; use a wax remover specifically used for leather, silk, muslin, or cotton fabrics. If you have an extremely stubborn stain, have many different brands of your clothing. Don't use alcohol that is too harsh or too cheap. The rubbing alcohol helps the dye to penetrate the fabric and unclog it up. Use a cloth water bottle to mix the rubbing alcohol and isopropyl alcohol with a solution of one part lanolin, one part vinegar, and two parts warm water. You can check for colorfastness by spraying part of the clothing with water, then pressing a white towel to it. [substeps] Other products with a high alcohol content, such as hair spray or hand sanitizer, can also treat a dye stain.
