Step 1: Blot Up Excess Insect Repellent
Using a cloth or paper towel, gently dab up any excess insect repellent from the rash guard. Be careful not to rub, as this could spread the stain further and cause it to set in deeper.
Step 2: Spot Treat with a Detergent
Mix a few drops of laundry detergent with some water and use a clean cloth to apply the solution directly onto the stain. Allow the spot treatment to sit for 10 minutes before wiping off with a damp cloth.
Step 3: Rinse With Cold Water
Once the stain has been treated, rinse the rash guard with cold water. This will help to ensure that there is no residue left behind. Make sure to rinse on the backside of clothing as well.
Step 4: Air Dry
When your rash guard is fully rinsed, hang it up in a well-ventilated area and let it air dry. Do not put the rash guard in the dryer, as this could cause the stain to set in further.
Conclusion
By following these steps, you can easily get rid of insect repellent stains from your rash guard. Keep in mind that for especially tough stains, you may need to repeat the spot treatment a few times before the stain is completely gone.
