1. Scrape Off Excess Debris
The first step in cleaning feces stains is to scrape off any excess debris from the fabric. Use a dull knife or spoon to gently remove any dried pieces of fecal matter. Work slowly and carefully to ensure you're not pushing the debris further into the fabric.
2. Pre-Treat with Detergent
Once the debris has been removed, pre-treat the stain with a laundry detergent. Choose one that is designed for pre-treating stains on fabrics. Apply a small amount directly to the stain, working it in with a cloth or brush to make sure it penetrates the fabric.
3. Wash and Rinse
Next, place the outerwear into a washing machine and run a cycle using warm water and detergent. Let the cycle complete and then transfer the item to the dryer. If stain remains, repeat this process until it is gone.
4. Spot Treat with Vinegar
If the stain still persists after a few washes, try spot treating it with distilled white vinegar. Soak a cloth in the vinegar and rub it into the stain. Let it sit for an hour and then rinse with cool water. Repeat this process if necessary.
5. Finish with Laundry Detergent and Fabric Softener
After treating the stain with vinegar, finish the cleaning process by laundering the item one more time with laundry detergent and fabric softener. This will help remove any residual odors and leave the fabric feeling soft and smelling fresh.
Conclusion
With the right tools and supplies, cleaning feces stains from outerwear doesn't have to be an impossible task. By following these steps, you can safely and effectively remove any stains and restore your clothing so it looks like new again.
