Removing Mud from Bandanas
Mud stains can be one of most challenging stains to remove from your clothing items, including bandanas. When mud gets on your bandana, these techniques can help:
- Rub the stain gently with a bar of soap and then rinse with cold water.
- Mix a solution of warm water and laundry detergent and soak the bandana for 30 minutes.
- For more serious mud stains, try mixing 3 tablespoons of baking soda and 1 tablespoon of water to form a paste. Apply the paste to the stain and rub it in gently. Let it sit for 10 minutes before washing off with cold water.
- After treating the stain, wash the bandana with warm water. Add 1/4 cup of white vinegar to the water to help set color and remove any lingering odors.
- Hang the bandana up to dry. Do not put in the dryer, as this will set any remaining stains.
Removing Other Stains from Bandanas
In addition to mud, here are some tips on how to remove other types of stains from your bandana:
- For food and drink stains, scrape off any excess residue with a butter knife and blot with a cloth dampened with white vinegar or club soda.
- For grease or oil stains, cover the stain with cornstarch or talcum powder and let it sit for 15 minutes. Remove the powder and launder as usual.
- For grass stains, mix equal parts white vinegar and liquid detergent and apply to stain. Let sit for an hour before laundering.
