It’s inevitable: As soon as you step outside with your cotton oxford clothing, you’re bound to get dirty. So if you’ve got mud stains on your favorite blazer or shoes, fear not – you can tackle them with some simple household items and a few easy steps.
Step 1: Pre-Treat the Mud Stain
Before you attempt to remove mud stain, it’s important to pre-treat the fabric to loosen the dirt. Using a sponge, mix equal parts liquid detergent and cool water together. Gently dab the mixture onto the mud stain and let it sit for 10 minutes. This will help to loosen the dirt, making it easier to remove.
Step 2: Soak the Fabric in Clean Water
Soak the fabric in clean, warm water for 30 minutes. This will further help to loosen any stubborn dirt and reduce the visibility of the stain.
Step 3: Treat the Stain with Vinegar
After soaking the fabric in water, apply a mixture of equal parts vinegar and cool water over stain. Rub the mixture gently into the fabric with your hands or a soft cloth, being careful not to rub it too harshly as this could damage fabric’s fibers.
Step 4: Clean the Area with Detergent
Mix a small amount of liquid detergent with cool water and use a sponge to dab the mixture onto the stain. Rub the detergent gently into the fabric and let it sit for 10 minutes. Rinse the area with cool water and repeat this process until the stain is removed.
Step 5: Air Dry or Machine Wash
Once the mud stain has been removed, air dry or machine wash the fabric according to care instructions provided. It’s important to not dry the fabric in the dryer until stain has been completely removed.
