Step 1: Soak in Cold Water
Start by filling a bucket or sink with cold water and add a small amount of detergent. Gently submerge the scarf and let it soak for around 15 minutes.
Step 2: Apply Stain Remover
Scrub the stained areas with a sponge that has liquid detergent mixed with water or a stain remover. Rinse and repeat this step multiple times until the stain starts to fade away.
Step 3: Put in the Washer
Once you see the stain reducing, put scarf in the washing machine. Use warm water and a small amount of detergent. Run the washing machine on a gentle cycle and check if the stain has been completely removed before drying.
Step 4: Hang to Dry
After it's done washing, don't tumble dry the scarf. Hang the scarf and let it dry completely. This will help keep the fabric of the scarf from shrinking.
Step 5: Iron and Enjoy!
Once the scarf is completely dry, use a low iron setting to press out any remaining watermarks. Now that your scarf is as good as new, you can enjoy wearing it again!
