Step 1: Gather your supplies
You'll need a few things before you can get started:
- White vinegar
- Cold water
- Laundry detergent
- A washing machine or basin for hand-washing
Step 2: Blot stain
Use a clean, white cloth or paper towel to blot the stain gently. This will help to lift some of the color and prevent it from spreading further onto material. Do not rub or scrub, as this might set the dye.
Step 3: Prepare a vinegar solution
Mix ¼ cup of white vinegar with ¾ cups of cold water. Make sure to use only white vinegar, as other types may not work as well.
Step 4: Soak the stain
Soak stained part of the sleep shirt in the vinegar solution for 30 minutes. This will help to break down the dye and further remove the stain.
Step 5: Wash the shirt
Wash the shirt using cold water and laundry detergent. You may need to do this twice or more if the stain doesn't come out completely after first wash.
Step 6: Check for remaining stain
After washing and drying your shirt, check for any remaining stain. If the stain is still visible, repeat the above steps until it's gone.
