What You'll Need
- White vinegar
- A soft bristled brush
- Mild detergent
- Clean cloth or sponge
Step 1: Identify the Stain
The first step to cleaning a stain is to identify the stain and act accordingly.
If hair spray has left a water-soluble stain, use cool water on the area immediately and blot with a clean cloth.
If it's an oil-based stain, you'll want to use white vinegar to pre-treat it.
Step 2: Pre-Treat the Stain with White Vinegar
To pre-treat an oil-based stain, apply white vinegar directly to the stained area and let it sit for 5-10 minutes. After that, use a soft bristled brush to gently scrub the area in a circular motion.
After that, blot excess liquid with a clean cloth or sponge.
Step 3: Wash the Area
Use a mild detergent and cool water to wash the area. It is important to use a gentle approach so as not to damage the alpaca fabric. Gently scrub the area in a circular motion and rinse off any remaining residue.
Repeat this process a few times until the stain is completely removed.
Step 4: Let Air Dry
Allow the area to air dry completely before using again. To speed up the drying process, use a fan or blow dryer set on lowest setting. Once dry, the area should be free from stains and ready for use.
