For detailed instructions on how to treat a stain:

Urine
Appearance: Yellow to brown, absorbed, darkens with age
Contains: Uric acids and organic compounds
Characteristics: May cause permanent damage to dye and fabric.
Procedure: Please follow the instructions carefully.

Step 1 : Blot stain using soft, white, absorbent material

Step 2 : Mix half a teaspoon of a clear, neutral pH, non-bleach dishwashing liquid with one cup of warm water. Apply it to the stain and leave for 5-10 minutes for best results. Rinse with warm water. You may have to rinse it several times to completely remove the residues. Never use automatic dishwasher detergent because it may contain bleaches that harm the textiles. Never use a laundry detergent because it may contain fluorescent dyes that may affect the dyes.

Step 3 : Mix two tablespoons of household ammonia in one cup of water. Apply it to the stain and leave it for less than a minute. Blot using soft, absorbent, white material such as paper towel or napkin.

Step 4 : Mix 1/3 cup of white vinegar to 2/3 cup of water. Apply it to the stain and leave it for less than a minute. Blot using soft, absorbent, white material such as paper towel or napkin.

Step 5 : Rinse with water and blot completely using soft, white, absorbent material.

Step 6 : Apply rust remover or oxalic acid solution and blot using soft, absorbent, white material such as paper towel or napkin.

Step 7 : Apply a small amount of 3% hydrogen peroxide (commonly available in the drug or grocery stores) and leave it for 2-5 minutes. Blot using soft, absorbent, white material such as paper towel or napkin.
