What You'll Need
- Liquid laundry detergent
- Pre-wash stain remover
- Cold water
- Bucket or basin
- Clean white cloth
Instructions
- Start by pre-treating any stubborn mud stains with a pre-wash stain remover. Do this before washing garment to give the remover more time to break down the stain.
- Fill a bucket or basin with cold water and add a squirt of liquid laundry detergent.
- Soak the stained area of the seersucker in the solution for 20-30 minutes.
- Using a clean white cloth, gently dab at the stain until it starts to fade.
- Rinse garment with cold running water.
- Air dry the garment or tumble dry on low heat if the fabric label permits.
- Check the garment for any remaining stains and repeat the steps above if needed.
Tips
- Be sure to use cold water as hot water could set the stain.
- Try not to rub fabric during cleaning as this can cause seersucker to snag or become misshapen.
- For set-in mud stains, try soaking overnight before pre-treating and washing.
- If possible, wash the garment in a mesh laundry bag to prevent snagging.
