Step 1: Remove Excess Solids

Begin by removing as much of the solid matter as possible from the suit. Using a spoon or a dull knife, scrape away any visible residues.

Step 2: Pre-Treat with an Oxi Clean Solution

Mix Oxi Clean with water according to the package instructions. Soak a washcloth in the solution and use it to blot at stained area. Allow the solution to work for several minutes before moving on to next step.

Step 3: Rinse with Cold Water

Rinse the stained area with cold water to remove some of the pre-treatment solution. Do not rub the fabric together or use hot water or harsher detergents at this point, as this can set the stain.

Step 4: Soak in a Vinegar Solution

Combine equal parts vinegar and cold water in a bucket or the sink. Submerge the stained garment in solution for 30 minutes to allow the vinegar to break down proteins and bacteria related to the stain.

Step 5: Wash

Remove the suit from the vinegar solution. Put the garment into the washing machine with cold water and a gentle detergent. Wash the suit on the delicate cycle and dry it afterward, making sure garment is completely dry before wearing it.

Additional Tips

When scraping away solid residues, make sure the blade of the spoon or knife is blunted to avoid any accidental tears in the fabric.
If the stain persists after using the vinegar solution, try washing it again with a laundry booster product.
Dry cleaners may also be able to help with stubborn stains.
