Gather Your Materials

To begin, you’ll need a couple of supplies to get the job done right:

  • Detergent or stain remover
  • Warm water
  • A soft-bristled brush (like a toothbrush)
  • White cloths

How to Remove an Insect Repellent Stain

  1. Check the garment label to confirm it’s machine-washable.
  2. Mix detergent with warm water, and apply it directly to the stained area.
  3. Use the soft-bristled brush to gently scrub the stain.
  4. Rinse away the solution with warm water and a white cloth.
  5. If the stain remains, repeat steps 2-4.
  6. For tougher stains, use a stain remover specifically designed for fabric.
  7. Once you’ve removed stain, it’s time to launder the garment in your washing machine.

Final Steps

Now that you’ve gotten rid of the insect repellent stain, finish up by laundering your coat according to the instructions on the label. Don’t forget to dry it properly and check it one last time for any remaining traces of the stain.
