Steps for Cleaning Insect Repellent Stains from Fabrics
- Scrape off any excess insect repellent from the fabric by using a spoon or butter knife.
- Mix a solution of gentle detergent and warm water in a bucket or sink.
- Soak the stained area in mixture for 20-30 minutes. Use a toothbrush or soft-bristled brush to lightly scrub the stained area.
- Rinse the area with fresh water and let it air dry.
- Check the stained area to see if it is clean. If not, repeat steps 3 and 4.
- Once the stain is removed, launder the fabric as normal.
Tips
- Always check the care label on your robe before laundering it. Some fabrics may require special care.
- Insect repellents can cause fabric dyes to bleed, so it is important to use only a mild detergent for cleaning.
- For more difficult stains, you may need to use a specialized cleaner, such as a stain remover.
