No one wants to go to the beach wearing their favorite bikini with unsightly BBQ sauce stains on it. Whether someone spilled it on you or you accidentally got some on yourself, it can seem like an impossible mess.

But don't worry - there are several easy and effective ways to remove BBQ stains from a bikini. Here are a few tips to help you out:

First, Soak the Stained Area in Cold Water

The first step to removing BBQ sauce stains from a bikini is to soak the stained area in cold water for about 15 minutes. This will help to remove any excess sauce and also make it easier to scrub away any remaining stain.

Second, Pretreat the Stained Area

Once the stained area has been soaked in cold water, apply a bit of liquid detergent or a laundry pre-treatment product directly to the stain. Allow it to sit for a few minutes to allow the detergent to break down the oily compounds in the BBQ sauce.

Third, Scrub the Stained Area

Using a soft brush, gently scrub stained area in a circular motion to help lift stain. Try to use as little pressure as possible to avoid damaging the fabric.

Fourth, Rinse Stained Area

Rinse the stained area with cold water to remove any residue from detergent or pre-treatment product. Be sure to rinse until all of soap is removed.

Fifth, Launder the Bikini

Wash the bikini according to the instructions on care label, using the warmest water possible. Then, machine dry the bikini on the highest heat setting. Check the stained area for any remaining stain before putting the bikini away.

With these easy steps, you can get rid of ugly BBQ sauce stains on your favorite bikini and make it look as good as new!
