What You'll Need

  • Dishwashing liquid
  • Stain remover (e.g. laundry detergent)
  • White vinegar
  • Bucket
  • Cloth or sponge
  • Old toothbrush
  • Clean towels
  • Iron

Step 1: Prepare the Stain Remover

Start by creating stain remover. Mix one teaspoon of dishwashing liquid, one tablespoon of laundry detergent, and two tablespoons of white vinegar in a bucket with one quart of warm water.

Step 2: Pre-Treat the Stain

Once stain remover is prepared, take a cloth or sponge and dip it in the solution. Gently dab the affected area with the dampened cloth or sponge to loosen and pre-treat the stain. Allow the solution to sit for about 10 minutes before proceeding to the next step.

Step 3: Scrub the Stain

Using an old toothbrush, gently scrub the affected area with the pre-treatment solution you created. Focus on scrubbing the stain with circular motions until you see the stain start to lighten. Rinse the area with cold water after scrubbing.

Step 4: Rinse Clothing

Rinse the clothing item thoroughly with cold water to remove any remaining stain remover residue. To ensure the stain is completely removed, repeat steps 2-4 as necessary.

Step 5: Dry the Clothing

Lay clothing flat on a clean towel and pat it dry with a separate clean towel. Do not try to dry the clothing on a hanger as this can cause the fabric to stretch and damage the clothing.

Step 6: Iron to Refresh the Fabric

Finally, use an iron to refresh the fabric and make sure there is no residual moisture left behind. Make sure you are using the right temperature setting for the clothing material, and you may also want to place a clean cloth between the fabric and the iron to prevent damage.

And You're Done!

Congratulations, you've just successfully removed an insect repellent stain from Alexander McQueen! Now you can put your clothing back in your wardrobe and show it off.
