Removing Fresh Stains

  1. Remove excess mayonnaise from the boxers using a spoon or a dull knife. Do not rub the mayonnaise into the fabric.
  2. Run cold water through stained area for one minute. This will help dilute mayonnaise and wash away some of the stain.
  3. Prepare a solution of 1 teaspoon dishwashing detergent and 1 cup of cool water. Mix ingredients together and then dip an absorbent cloth into the solution.
  4. Gently blot stain until it starts to fade. Do not rub the stain as it may spread.
  5. Rinse the boxers by running cool water through stained area for one minute. Be sure to rinse away all soap.
  6. Lay boxers flat on a towel and allow to air dry.

Removing Old Stains

  1. Check the label in the boxers to determine whether the fabric is safe to be washed with bleach. If it is, proceed to step two. If not, you will need to take boxers to a professional cleaner.
  2. Mix ½ teaspoon of chlorine bleach and 1 cup of cool water in a small bowl. Stir mixture together until it’s combined.
  3. Dab a clean cloth into the bleach solution and gently apply it to the mayonnaise stain. Allow the solution to sit on the stain for several minutes.
  4. Run cool water through the stained area for one minute. Rinse away any remaining bleach from the boxers.
  5. Lay the boxers flat on a towel and allow to air dry.

Preventing Future Stains
