Coming out of a tough workout with Under Armour and noticing some pesky blood stains? All hope isn't lost! A few simple tricks can help restore your apparel to its pre-workout glory.
Stain Removal Strategies
Here are a few tricks of the trade to help get rid of those red marks on your Under Armour:
- Using a mixture of 30% hydrogen peroxide and 70% cold water, gently dab and blot at the stain until it lightens. Do not rub or scrub as that can make stain worse.
- If the above method doesn't work, mix 2 teaspoons each of liquid hand dishwashing detergent and white vinegar with 1 quart of cold water. Again, dab and blot at the stain until it lifts.
- If those two methods fail to remove the stain, apply a paste of borax, water and non-gel toothpaste directly to the stain. Let sit for 10 minutes, then rinse with cold water and wash as usual.
- Whichever method you end up using, never use bleach on Under Armour as that could damage the fabric.
Extra Preventative Steps
In addition to knowing how to remove common blood stains from Under Armour, you can also take some preventative measures to help avoid them to begin with.
- Before starting any sweat-inducing activity, apply a small amount of rubbing alcohol or liquid detergent to affected area to help minimize the potential for a stain.
- During performance, try to wear a bandana or other type of absorbent headwear to reduce the chance of stains.
- Check your body and any clothing before, during, and after exercise for any signs of bleeding and take immediate steps to treat the wound and protect clothing.
