When you find yourself with unsightly medicine stains on a favorite tank top, don't despair! While the stains can be difficult to remove, with a few simple steps, it is possible to get your garment looking like new once again.

Step 1: Pretreat Stain

The first step to cleaning any stain is pretreating it. Begin by gently rubbing liquid laundry detergent onto the stained area. If possible, select a detergent that contains bleach or enzymatic ingredients such as protease enzymes that help break down the stain molecules.

Step 2: Allow Pretreatment to Work

Once you've applied the detergent, allow it to work on the stain for a few minutes. If you're in a hurry, you can throw the tank top into the washer after 45 minutes.

Step 3: Rinse and Wash

Next, rinse out the detergent with cold water. Then, add tank top to the washer and wash it according to the directions on the care label. To reduce risk of fading, use a gentle cycle and be sure to keep the color of the washer load uniform.

Step 4: Check the Stain

Once the tank top is done washing, take a look at it to check stain. If it's still visible, repeat steps 1-3 until it's gone.

Step 5: Dry the Tank Top

Finally, dry the tank top according to the instructions on the care label. Generally, this means throwing it in the dryer on low heat or allowing the fabric to air dry.

And there you have it--cleaning medicine stains from tank tops can be a breeze! Just follow these five easy steps to get your garments looking like new again.
