Step 1: Soak in Cold Water
Soak your stained scrub sets in cold water for about 30 minutes. Use a gentle laundry detergent like Woolite and a soft-bristled brush to help the cleaner penetrate the fabric fibers.
Step 2: Pre-Treat With Shaving Cream
After soaking, pre-treat stain with shaving cream. Work the cream into the stain with your fingers and let it sit for 10 minutes. This will help to loosen the stain and make it easier to remove.
Step 3: Wash With Detergent
Fill the washing machine with cool water and add a gentle detergent. Place stained scrub sets into the machine and set the cycle on gentle (warm water is ok if the scrub sets are white). Let the items run through a full wash cycle.
Step 4: Check Before Drying
Once the cycle is complete, check the scrub sets for any remaining stains. If there is still some discoloration, repeat steps 2 and 3 before drying.
Step 5: Dry in the Sun
Finally, hang your scrub sets in sun to dry. The sun's natural UV rays will help to further break down the stain and give your scrub sets a fresh, clean look.
