What You'll Need

  • Water
  • Bucket or sink
  • Laundry detergent
  • Liquid enzyme cleaner
  • Cloth or sponge
  • White vinegar
  • Baking soda
  • Container or bowl

Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Fill a bucket or sink with cold water and add a few drops of laundry detergent.
  2. Submerge the stained area in the soapy water and gently agitate.
  3. If the stain is particularly stubborn, apply a liquid enzyme cleaner directly to the affected area and leave for 30minutes.
  4. Rinse the soapy water off swim trunks, then use a clean cloth or sponge to dab the stained area with white vinegar.
  5. Mix baking soda with a small amount of water to form a paste, then rub it into stain.
  6. Leave the paste on the stain for 20 minutes, then rinse it off with cold water.
  7. Wash the swim trunks according to care label instructions.
  8. 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.
