Method 1: Soaking in Warm Water and Detergent
This is a great first step for any kind of stain, including medicine stains. First, rinse the affected area with cool water and blot it to get rid of any excess liquid. Then, fill a sink with warm water and a few drops of detergent. Place crepe fabric inside the water and let it soak for 15-20 minutes. After that, rinse the fabric thoroughly and wash it like you normally do in the washer. If the stain persists after the first try, repeat these steps.
Method 2: Using Chlorine Bleach
If the stain still won’t budge after soaking and washing with detergent, try using chlorine bleach. First, test the chlorine bleach in an inconspicuous spot on the fabric to see if it’s colorfast. If it is, fill a tub with warm water and add 1 cup of chlorine bleach for every gallon of water. Then, submerge the crepe fabric in this and let it sit for 20 minutes. Finally, rinse it with cold water and re-wash it. Be sure to read care label before proceeding.
Method 3: Treating with Vinegar and Baking Soda
Finally, if the stain is still visible after above methods, try treating it with a mixture of vinegar and baking soda. Mix half a cup of white vinegar with a tablespoon of baking soda and stir until they form a paste. Apply this paste directly onto the stain and let it sit for an hour or two. Then, rinse fabric with cold water and wash it as usual. If you need to, repeat these steps until the stain disappears.
Conclusion
Cleaning medicine stains from crepe fabric can be tricky but it’s possible. Try the methods mentioned above to effectively remove any residue without damaging fabric. If all else fails, take item to a professional cleaner for further help.
