washing up liquid on it then back in the machine with usual detergent.

(if it's a big area dilute it down abit so you don't end up with soap suds comming out everywhere.)

Make sure you get it out before you wash it in a hot wash as that will cook it into the fabric.

Soak it in cold water and detergent.

oh no! i might be too late then fab. its dark brown so the stain was not visible when it was wet. i hope its still salvageable
