A homemade dry-cleaning solvent can be effective. Always pre-treat stains first before using any solvent, including a DIY mixture. Put your garment either in a dry cleaning bag that came with a kit, or a pillowcase.

In a bowl, add 3/4 cup of water, 4 tablespoons of distilled white vinegar, 1 teaspoon of borax, and 1 teaspoon of oxygen bleach powder. Take a clean white cloth or washcloth, dip it into the mixture, wring it out, and put it into the bag or pillowcase. Then dry for about 15 to 20 minutes in the dryer.
