To avoid a halo, re-wet the entire stained area (not just the center), work from the outside edge inward, and rinse thoroughly so no cleaner or dissolved dye dries at the edges. Use small amounts of solution, blot instead of rubbing, and keep the fabric evenly damp until you fully flush and dry it.
