Some general tips about beer stain removal.

• Work from the outside area of the stain towards the centre.

For Beer Stains on Clothes

• Massage some Vanish soap or liquid hand washing detergent into the stain.
• Rinse the area.
• If the stain is stubborn and if the fabric is not too delicate, use an old toothbrush or a soft nail brush and scrub gently on the stain.

• Instead of using Vanish, you could sponge the area with a solution of white spirit vinegar 1 part to 5 parts warm water. (Do not use vinegar on fabrics containing triacetate and note that vinegar may bleach clothing)

Either way, when the stain is out, rinse the fabric immediately in cool water and wash the article in a warm wash adding a biological washing powder to the machine.
