Step 1: Pre-Treat Stains
Start off by gently rubbing a mild laundry detergent or liquid dishwashing soap onto the stained area. Make sure the amount you use is enough to cover entire stain, but not too much as it may damage the fabric. Let the solution sit for 5-10 minutes to help loosen the dirt and grime.
Step 2: Soak the Bra in Water
Once you've pre-treated the area with detergent, fill a sink with lukewarm water and submerge the bra. Let it soak for around 30 minutes to an hour to loosen all of the dirt particles. You can also add a few drops of vinegar to the water to help break down the stain even further.
Step 3: Rinse and Dry
Once the bra has soaked, rinse it off under running water to remove any residual soap or dirt. Pat the bra dry with a soft cloth, avoiding any vigorous rubbing to prevent damaging the delicate fabric. Then, hang the bra in a well-ventilated area to air dry or place it flat on a towel in a sunny spot.
Step 4: Apply a Stain Remover
If you still have some stubborn mud stains that refuse to come off, you can try applying a commercial stain remover. Check label to make sure it is suitable for use on bras and follow directions provided on the bottle. Make sure to thoroughly rinse the garment afterwards to avoid any discolouration.
