What You Need

  • White vinegar
  • Soft sponge

Steps

  1. Mix equal parts detergent and white vinegar in a bowl.
  2. Dampen sponge in the soapy solution and gently rub the stained area of the headband.
  3. If the stain is still visible, mix a paste of baking soda and vinegar and apply it to the stained area.
  4. Let the paste sit for at least 10 minutes.
  5. Using the sponge, scrub area gently in circular motions.
  6. Rinse the headband in cold water.

Tips

  • Always test the detergent and vinegar solution or baking soda mixture on a small part of headband before using to make sure it won't damage material.
  • If you don't have white vinegar, you can also use lemon juice.
  • If stain is on a delicate fabric like silk or velvet, you may want to seek professional help.
