Step 1: Blot the affected area
Use a damp cloth or paper towel and gently press down on stain. Don’t rub it in, as this may spread the stain further and make it harder to remove. The goal here is to absorb as much of the spilled medicine as possible.
Step 2: Treat the stain
Once you’ve blotted area, use an enzymatic cleaner designed for fabrics. This type of cleaner will break down the proteins in the stain and make it easier to remove. Follow instructions on the label and be sure to test a small, hidden area of the fabric before applying it to the stain.
Step 3: Rinse with cold water
After you’ve treated the stain with the enzymatic cleaner, rinse the area with cold water. Make sure to rinse thoroughly until all of the cleaner has been removed.
Step 4: Launder your scarf
Once you’ve rinsed the scarves, launder it according to the fabric’s care instructions. If the stain is still visible after laundering, we recommend repeating the process until it’s gone.
Conclusion
No one can predict when an accident involving medicine will occur, but with the right cleaning technique, you can quickly and easily remove any stains that result from it. Follow these four simple steps and you’ll be able to say goodbye to medicine stains on your favorite scarves in no time!
