Step 1: Check the Label
Before you start cleaning, check label of your spandex for care instructions. It's important to know what material you're dealing with and how to best treat it.
Step 2: Preparing Your Materials
Gather your materials: a cup of warm water, a small bowl, laundry detergent, a soft-bristled brush, a clean towel, and a stain remover like Shout.
Step 3: Dampen and Apply Laundry Detergent
Dampen the stained area with the cup of warm water, then apply a small amount of laundry detergent on the stain and allow it to soak in for five minutes.
Step 4: Use a Soft-bristled Brush
Using the soft-bristled brush, gently scrub the affected area in a circular motion. Take care not to damage the fabric.
Step 5: Rinse with Warm Water
Rinse the stained area with warm water. Be sure to rinse out all of the laundry detergent.
Step 6: Apply Stain Remover
If the stain is still there, apply a small amount of stain remover, like Shout, to affected area and let it sit for five minutes.
Step 7: Rinse Again
Once the stain remover has been given time to work, rinse the area with warm water. Once again, be sure to rinse out all detergents or stain remover.
Step 8: Blot Dry with a Clean Towel
Gently dry the area with a clean towel. Don't rub too hard as this could potentially damage the fabric.
Step 9: Air Dry
Allow spandex to air dry completely. Do not put it in a dryer.
Step 10: Repeat if Needed
If stain is still visible, repeat steps 3 through 9.
