Step 1: Blot the Stain With Water

The first step in removing mayonnaise stains from swim trunks is to dampen a clean cloth with cold water and use it to blot stain. This should help dilute the stain, making it easier to remove.

Step 2: Apply Detergent or Soap to the Stain

Once you have blotted the stain with water, apply a small amount of detergent or soap to the area. Rub it into stained area gently and let it sit for a few minutes before rinsing with cool water.

Step 3: Rinse Stain With Vinegar

Vinegar is great for removing stubborn stains, particularly mayonnaise stains. To use it, simply mix one part vinegar with three parts water in a bowl, dip a clean cloth in the mixture, and then dab the stained area with the cloth. Let the vinegar solution sit for a few minutes and then rinse with cool water.

Step 4: Wash and Dry Your Swim Trunks

After all the steps above, you can now wash and dry your swim trunks as you normally would. Air drying is best to help prevent further stains, though you can also use a gentle cycle in washing machine if needed.
