The first step in cleaning mud off macramé is to rinse the stained area with cold water. This will help to loosen dirt and make it easier to remove. Next, mix some mild detergent into a bucket of warm water. You don’t want to use anything too harsh because it could damage the fibers of the macramé. Dip a soft cloth into the soapy water and then begin to blot the stained area. Make sure to not rub too hard or vigorously as this could cause more damage.
If the mud stain is particularly stubborn and won’t come out with detergent, white vinegar is another great option. Mix 1 part white vinegar with 4 parts warm water into a bucket and stir. Dip a soft cloth into solution and then gently blot the stained area. Again, make sure not to rub too hard or vigorously.
If detergent and white vinegar won't work, you can try making a baking soda paste. To make paste, mix 1 tablespoon of baking soda with just enough water to make a thick paste. Spread the paste over the stained area and let it sit for 10 minutes. Once time is up, rinse the paste away with cool water. You may need to repeat the process if stain is particularly stubborn.
Finally, if all else fails, you can try using hydrogen peroxide to remove mud stains from macramé. Mix 1 part hydrogen peroxide with 2 parts warm water in a bowl. Then, dip a soft cloth into the mixture and gently blot the stained area. Again, make sure not to rub too hard or vigorously. After blotting the stain, rinse the area with cool water.
Mud stains on macramé can be a real hassle to remove, but by following the above steps you can easily get them out. From using a mild detergent to hydrogen peroxide, there are plenty of options for removing mud stains from macramé. The trick is to find the one that works best for your particular situation.
