- Start by checking the tag to determine what type of fabric your board shorts are made from, as this will help you decide how best to tackle stains.
- If the tag states that the fabric is pre-shrunk, it’s safe to proceed with the next step: fill a bucket or sink with cold water and add a few drops of mild liquid detergent, such as Woolite.
- Let board shorts soak in solution for at least one hour before gently rubbing the stains with a soft-bristled brush.
