Mud No More: How to Easily Clean Mud Stains from Muslin

Muslin is an incredibly durable and flexible fabric, but it can be challenging to remove mud stains from it due to its breathable and absorbent nature. Fortunately, there are a few simple cleaners that can help you get your muslin back to its former glory.

Ingredients You Need

• Borax
• Dish soap
• Warm water
• White vinegar

Steps to Cleaning Your Muslin

1. Start by scraping off the dried mud from the muslin fabric. Don’t rub, as this can push the dirt deeper into fabric.
2. Mix 1 cup of Borax with 2-3 tablespoons of your favorite, mild dish soap in a bowl of warm water.
3. Soak your muslin in the solution for 30 minutes.
4. Rinse the muslin using a gentle, lukewarm stream of water.
5. Mix a solution of one part white vinegar to two parts water then soak the muslin for another 30 minutes.
6. Rinse the muslin again in a gentle lukewarm stream of water and hang to dry.

Tips for the Best Results

• Test any cleaning product to make sure that color doesn’t fade or bleed before using.
• While Borax is considered safe on most fabrics, be sure to double check care instructions on your fabric before beginning.
• For tougher mud stains, you may need to repeat process several times.
