Whether your medicine is in a liquid or pill form, it can end up spilling onto your stockings and leaving behind a stubborn stain. If the stain is not removed quickly, it can be hard to get out completely. Here are some steps to follow to get rid of medicine stains on stockings:
1. Clean the Stain Immediately
It is important to act as soon as possible when you notice the medicine stain on your stockings. The longer the stain remains, the harder it will be to remove it. So quickly blot up any excess medicine. This can help stop the stain from spreading.
2. Pre-treat the Stain
After blotted up any excess medicine, you can pre-treat the stain with a commercial stain remover. Make sure to read the instructions on the label to see if it is safe to use on stockings. If it is, apply the remover onto the stain and let it sit for a few minutes.
3. Hand Wash the Stocking
Once the stain remover has had an opportunity to work, rinse the stocking with cold water. Then wash stocking by gently rubbing it together using a mild detergent and lukewarm water. This should help lift away the stain without damaging fabric.
4. Rinse and Air Dry
Once finished, rinse the stocking again with cold water. Then allow it to air dry. Avoid tumble drying the stocking as this can make the stain even harder to remove.
By following these simple steps, you can easily get rid of medicine stains on your stockings. With patience and persistence, you can have clean stockings in no time!
