3) Combine 2 cups of warm water and 1 tbsp of ammonia to use diluted ammonia in the event the milk is a stain and requires more potency. With the solution and blot up the tough milk, treat a fresh cloth.
4) Make certain to use a water-damp cloth to rinse the solution residue away, no matter which solution or both used.
