Removing Medicine Stains from Cotton Chambray

The first step in removing a medicine stain from your cotton chambray is to determine the type of medicine that was spilled. Certain medicines, such as oils or ointments, require special treatment for removal.

If medicine is water based, begin by blotting the area with a damp paper towel or cloth to absorb as much liquid as possible. Do not rub the fabric, as this can spread or set the stain into the fabric.

Once the majority of the liquid has been blotted, create a mixture of detergent and lukewarm water and apply it to the stained area. Allow the solution to sit for 5-10 minutes before rinsing it off with cold water.

If the stain remains, try mixing some white vinegar with water and dabbing it onto the stained area. Once the vinegar solution has absorbed into the fabric, rinse it off with cold water. Repeat this process until the stain is completely removed.

Tips For Removing Medicine Stains

  • Always read the instructions on medicine bottle before trying to remove a stain.
  • If the medicine is oil or cream based, use a mild degreaser such as dish soap to help break down the oil or cream before attempting to remove the stain.
  • If stain doesn’t come out after the first attempt, do not continue to scrub or rub the fabric since this could damage the material.
  • Allow the clothing to air dry before attempting to remove the stain again.
  • If the stain still persists, consult a professional dry cleaner for further assistance.
