How to Take Out Stains From Banana Leaves on Fabric

• 1). Mix 1 tsp. vinegar with 1 tsp. rubbing alcohol.
  
  
• 2). Dampen a sponge with the alcohol-vinegar solution and let it air-dry until the sponge is only moist. Test the sponge by gently pressing it against your skin; if no wetness is left behind, the sponge is dry enough.
  
  
• 3). Pour a small amount of liquid detergent, approximately 1/2 cup depending on size, on the banana leaf stain. If the fabric is not colored, pour a few drops of bleach onto the stain as well.
  
  
• 4). Rub the detergent into the stain using the sponge.
  
  
• 5). Rinse the area thoroughly with cold water.
