Spilling medicine on your favourite piece of clothing is an obvious cause for concern. However, with the right advice, removing such unwanted stains can be made simpler. So if you have spilled medicines on cotton piqué, here are some tips to help you clean the fabric.
Steps to Clean Medicine Stains From Cotton Piqué
- To start, dab the stain as much as possible using a dry cloth. This will help remove excess drugs and prevent the stain from setting in.
- Sprinkle a generous amount of baking soda over stained area and let it stand for 15 minutes or so.
- Once baking soda has been allowed to settle, use a damp cloth to gently rub the affected area. This should help lift off the stain.
- If stain persists, make a cleaning solution by combining white vinegar and warm water.
- Use this solution and a clean cloth to further scrub the stained area.
- Once stain is gone, wash the fabric with cold water and a mild detergent.
- Finally, hang your clothing item up to air-dry.
Additional Tips
- Be sure to test the cleaning solution on a corner of the fabric beforehand to make sure it won't damage or discolor the cotton piqué.
- If the stain persists, use a small amount of rubbing alcohol to remove it.
- Be sure to never rub the stained area directly as this could cause the stain to spread.
- Always read care instructions and follow them carefully before attempting to clean the fabric.
With these simple steps, you should now be able to easily clean medicine stains from cotton piqué!
