The first step is to determine the type of fabric that the clothing is made of. This will have an impact on which cleaning agent you use. Different types of fabrics require different cleaning methods. For example, delicate fabrics like silk and wool are more susceptible to damage and require special care when cleaning.
Once you know the type of fabric, you can start pre-treating stained area. Use a store-bought stain remover that is best-suited for the type of fabric you are dealing with. Apply a small amount on the stained area and let it sit for a few minutes before laundering.
After pre-treating the stain, it’s time to launder it. Use a color-safe detergent and hot water for the best results. For delicate fabrics, make sure to choose a gentle cycle to avoid damaging the clothes. Additionally, make sure not to overload the washing machine to give the clothes enough room to move.
When the wash cycle is done, remove the clothes from the washer and hang them outside to air dry. If you do not have access to an outdoor space, you can also use a tumble dryer but make sure to read the instructions on the fabric care labels to determine the appropriate setting. Doing so will help ensure that your clothes remain intact.
Sometimes, the stain may not disappear completely after following the above steps. If this happens, simply repeat process until you achieve desired results. You can also try pre-treating stain with vinegar for an extra boost of power.
