Tip #1
You will need:
A cup of white vinegar
A cup of alcohol
Method of use
Take a basin and pour the two cups into it before mixing everything together. Once this mixture has become homogeneous, use a cloth to apply it to the stain you want to remove.
Be careful not to rub the cloth vigorously against the fabric because the stain may spread. Immediately afterwards, rinse the garment with cold water. Repeat the process if necessary.
Tip #2
You will need:
A tablespoon of ammonia

How to use
If your garment is made of wool or cotton, soak a clean cloth in ammonia and dab the stained area with bleach. Once this is done, put your garment in the washing machine.
A Last Resort for Particularly Stubborn Stains
The two tips mentioned above usually give satisfactory results. But if the unsightly stains on your clothes are still visible despite your efforts, there is a backup plan that you should consider.
This involves bleaching clothes that have been affected by bleach. And for this, nothing beats the product that caused your problems! Simply fill a basin with hot water and bleach, at a rate of one liter of water to one cup of bleach.
Soak your garment (if it is made of natural material) and let it sit, stirring regularly with a wooden spatula. When the water changes color, rinse your garment. Repeat the operation if necessary.
Once your garment has been bleached, you can dye it again using the color that best suits your preferences.
Remember that it is important to always choose the right products for the types of fabrics you want to treat so as not to damage them.
