What You’ll Need

  • White cloth
  • Oxygenated bleach
  • Washing machine

Step 1: Apply Oxygenated Bleach

To start, gently dab the area with a white cloth soaked in oxygenated bleach. Pouring the bleach directly onto the cloth will give you more control and make sure not to saturate material. Allow fabric to sit for about five minutes before moving onto the next step.

Step 2: Scrub Stain

Once oxygenated bleach has had a chance to work its magic, it's time to scrub. Gently rub the stained area, using circular motions while avoiding pulling or stretching the fabric. Repeat this step two or three times.

Step 3: Place in Washing Machine

After scrubbing the stained area, put the leggings into a cold water cycle in the washing machine. On rare occasions, the stain may re-appear after washing. If that happens, repeat step one and two. When you are finished washing the leggings, let them air dry instead of putting them in the dryer.
