Before proceeding with any cleaning process, it is important to spot test the fabric. Choose an inconspicuous area on your dashiki and apply one of the cleaning methods we will discuss below. If the spot test does not result in any visible staining or discoloration, then you can proceed with the full cleaning.
Mix equal parts vodka and water in a bowl or sink. Dip a clean, white cloth into the solution and carefully blot the stained area of your dashiki. Continue to apply pressure until the liquid is absorbed and the stain begins to lift. This method is most effective when dealing with fresh stains.
Create a lather with a gentle soap and warm water. Use a soft cloth or sponge to scrub the stained area of the dashiki. Work in a circular motion, and be sure to not scrub too hard as to avoid damaging the fabric. Rinse the cloth or sponge frequently in order to avoid spreading stain.
Fill a basin with distilled white vinegar and submerge your dashiki. Allow the fabric to soak for 15-20 minutes. Remove the dashiki and rinse with clean, cold water. If the stain remains, you may repeat the soaking and rinsing process until the stain is gone.
White wine has a mild bleaching effect that can help lift stains. Pour a small amount of white wine onto the stained area and let it sit for several minutes. Use a clean cloth to blot the stained area until the liquid is absorbed and the stain begins to lighten. Rinse your dashiki with cold water once the stain is lifted.
