Ammonia and turpentine

To get rid of the stain, prepare a mixture of these two products. The resulting solution is applied to the stain using a rag or cotton pad. The product is left for 3 hours, and then the problem area is washed.

Refined gasoline or turpentine

Treat an old stain with one of the two products, then cover the area with a clean cloth - top and bottom. The method is effective, but because of the smell, you will have to wash the entire item.

Before using any of the methods, it is better to make sure that the garment is not too delicate.
