Step-by-Step Guide
- Fill a bucket or sink with cold water and add a few drops of laundry detergent.
- Submerge the stained area in the soapy water and gently agitate.
- If the stain is particularly stubborn, apply a liquid enzyme cleaner directly to the affected area and leave for 30minutes.
- Rinse the soapy water off swim trunks, then use a clean cloth or sponge to dab the stained area with white vinegar.
- Mix baking soda with a small amount of water to form a paste, then rub it into stain.
- Leave the paste on the stain for 20 minutes, then rinse it off with cold water.
- Wash the swim trunks according to care label instructions.
- Check the swim trunks for remaining stains before drying.
Additional Tips
- Remember to test any cleaning products on a small, inconspicuous area first, as some may cause damage to materials like nylon.
- If the stain persists, repeat process.
- Dry swim trunks in the open air rather than in dryer as this can generate too much heat which may set the stain.
