This is a 4th generation dry cleaner's guide to removing a kimchi stain

A kimchi stain is known as an oxidizable / bleachable stain that requires bleach, usually oxygen bleach, to correct the color. Think of this stain as more of a color/dye issue than food still existing on it. There are 4 main types of stains: greasy, oxidizable, particulate, and enzymatic.

1) Rinse and brush any physical bits of the stain away with cool or warm water.
2) Prepare a basis/bucket/sink/tub with hot water (ideally 120-140 F or 50-60 C) and add 1/8-1/4 cup of powdered oxygen bleach (sodium percarbonate*, think OxiClean and Vanish). Let this sit for at least 8 hours if possible, overnight is ideal.
3) Wash as recommended by the care label.
4) Inspect the stain, if it still remains repeat step 2. It may take a few more tries depending on the severity.
5) Dry as recommended by the care label.

The sooner you get to the stain the easier it will be to remove.

*When sodium percarbonate reacts with hot water it creates hydrogen peroxide which corrects fugitive color. You can also spray hydrogen peroxide directly on the stain and let it air dry overnight.
