What should I do if the stain remains?

If the stain still lingers, try repeating the process with a stronger detergent or increase the amount of white vinegar added in the cleaning solution.

Are there any alternative cleaning solutions?

You can also try using an enzyme cleaner, such as those used for pet urine and odour removal, followed by a gentle wash cycle in the machine.

Can feces stains be removed from other types of fabric?

Yes, the same steps outlined above can be applied to other delicate fabrics, such as silk and cashmere.

What You Need:

Clean towel
Gently soapy water
Tablespoon of white vinegar
Sponge (or absorbent cloth)
Laundry detergent

Instructions:

Start by gently blotting stain with a clean towel to absorb as much of feces as possible.
Mix a mild solution of soapy water and one tablespoon of white vinegar in a bowl.
Dip a sponge or absorbent cloth into the mixture and gently dab the area around stain.
Rinse affected area with cold water and use another clean towel to dry.
Apply laundry detergent directly to the stain and let it sit for 10-15 minutes.
Using sponge or cloth again, dab the area with a little more soapy water to help work detergent into the fabric.
Rinse area well and then launder the skirt as usual.
