Say goodbye to mud stains forever with this easy-to-follow guide on how to clean mud out of your cotton chambray. Whether it's a shirt, dress, or pair of pants, you can rest assured that your garment will look fresh and clean again! Just follow steps listed below.

Removing Fresh Mud Stains

If your mud stain is still fresh, you can easily remove it with following steps:

  • As soon as possible, scrape off the excess mud with a dull knife or spoon to avoid pushing the mud deeper into the fabric.
  • Soak the stained garment in cold water for at least an hour.
  • Prepare a solution of equal parts hydrogen peroxide and dishwashing liquid.
  • Dab the solution onto the stain and allow it to sit for 15 minutes.
  • Using a clean cloth, rub the stained area gently until the mud starts to lift.
  • Rinse the garment in cold water.
  • Repeat as necessary until the stain is gone.
  • Allow the garment to air dry.

Removing Dried Mud Stains

If your mud stain has dried, you may need to use a different method to remove it. Follow the steps below:

  • Mix equal parts warm water and white vinegar.
  • Soak the garment in the solution for 30 minutes.
  • Using an old toothbrush, gently scrub the stained area from the outside in.
  • Rinse area with cold water.
  • Repeat as needed until the stain is gone.
  • Allow the garment to air dry.

Aftercare

For best results, do not machine wash your garment if it is heavily stained. Instead, take it to dry cleaner to ensure the mud doesn't set further into the fabric. If your garment is only lightly stained, you may be able to machine wash it, but always read the care label on the garment first and follow the instructions.
