What You’ll Need
- Cloth or paper towels
- Bowl
- Cold water
- Mild detergent
- Enzyme-based stain remover
- Stain protector
Step 1: Blot the Stain
Use cloth or paper towels to gently blot up any excess feces. Do not scrub or rub the fabric as this can make the stain worse.
Step 2: Cold Water Soak
Fill a bowl with cold water and a small amount of mild detergent. Place spandex in the bowl, making sure the affected area is submerged in the solution. Allow the fabric to soak for 10 minutes.
Step 3: Use an Enzyme-Based Stain Remover
Once the fabric has soaked, apply a small amount of enzyme-based stain remover to the affected area. Allow the stain remover to work for a few minutes before rinsing out with cold water.
Step 4: Apply a Stain Protector
To ensure that the stain does not reappear, apply a stain protector to the fabric. This will help prevent future stains and protect the fabric.
Step 5: Dry the Fabric
Once finished, hang spandex up to dry. Avoid placing the fabric in the dryer, as high temperatures can set the stain.
