What You'll Need:

  • Laundry detergent
  • White vinegar
  • Baking soda
  • Sponge/ Cloth

Step 1: Soak in Warm Water

In a large bowl or basin, combine warm water and laundry detergent. Soak the board shorts in this mixture for at least an hour or overnight to help loosen the eye shadow stain.

Step 2: Pre-treat with Vinegar

After the shorts have soaked, pre-treat the stain with white vinegar. Pour some vinegar onto the washcloth and gently rub it into the stain. Let it sit for about 15 minutes before rinsing.

Step 3: Wash as Normal

Now that you've pre-treated the stain, it's time to wash the shorts with the rest of the laundry. Add detergent to the machine as normal and select the appropriate cycle and washing temperature.

Step 4: Use Baking Soda as a Fabric Softener

Once the shorts have finished washing, add a cup of baking soda to the fabric softener dispenser and run the rinse cycle. This will help to get rid of any remaining residue from the stain.

Step 5: Air Dry

Hang your board shorts out to air dry for best results. Avoid using the dryer, as this can make the stain harder to remove.

Conclusion

Removing eye shadow stains from board shorts doesn't have to be a battle. By following steps outlined above, you can get your shorts looking good as new again. Enjoy your newfound cleaning success!
