Steps for Removing Insect Repellent Stains from Cotton Chambray
- Start by blotting the area with a paper towel. Blotting will help absorb the excess insect repellent from the fabric.
- Using a damp cloth, gently rub the stain in a circular motion. Continue rubbing until stain softens.
- Apply an enzyme laundry detergent directly onto the stain and work it in using your fingers or a soft brush.
- Let the detergent sit on stain for at least 10 minutes before washing. This will give detergent time to break down the insect repellent.
- Wash the fabric in cold water using a mild detergent.
- After the fabric is dry, inspect to see if the stain has completely been removed. If the stain is still there, repeat steps above until the stain is gone.
Tips for Before You Wash
- Always read the care instructions for the fabric you're washing.
- Test the insect repellent stain remover on an inconspicuous area before applying it to the stain.
- Add 1/2 cup of white vinegar in washing machine along with your detergent to help lift the stain.
- If stain does not come out after the first wash, rewash the item in cold water and add more insect repellent stain remover.
