Steps To Remove Insect Repellent Stains From Fred Perry Clothing

  • Scrape off as much repellent as possible with a spoon or dull butter knife.
  • Mix one tablespoon of a liquid dish detergent designed for handwashing with one cup of warm water.
  • Dab a clean cloth into the solution and gently apply to the stain. You can also use an old toothbrush if the stained area is hard to reach.
  • Allow the solution to soak into the stain for approximately 10 minutes.
  • Rinse the affected area with cold water.
  • Spray the area with lemon juice mixed with a bit of vinegar and leave for another 10 minutes.
  • Continue to rinse with cold water until the stain is gone.
  • If some traces of stain remain, place the garment in sun for several hours, since the UV rays from sun may help bleaching the clothing.
  • Finally, launder the clothing as usual.

Keeping Insect Repellent Away From Fred Perry Clothing

It’s important to also be mindful of how you apply insect repellent and make sure that it doesn’t get on your Fred Perry clothing. Accidentally spraying it directly on your clothing is a surefire way to create a stain. Apply repellent to exposed skin, not clothing. Furthermore, always check the label of any product purchased to make sure it’s suitable for applying on skin and clothing - some products are only designed to be applied to skin.

Conclusion

By following the steps outlined above, you can remove insect repellent stains from your Fred Perry clothing quickly and effectively. It’s also important to ensure you don’t apply insect repellent directly onto your clothing when using the product, as this could cause permanent staining.
