If your swim trunks have recently been exposed to mud, you should act fast. Start by rinsing off any large chunks of mud with very cold water. Once that's done, you'll need to make a paste out of laundry detergent and cold water. Spread this paste over the affected area, using a cloth or sponge to rub it in. Let the paste sit for about 15 minutes, then rinse it off with cold water.
Once you've treated the mud stain, it's time to put your swim trunks in the washing machine. Before doing so, make sure to check care label on the inside of the trunks. Most swim trunks can be washed in warm water with a normal detergent, but some require special cleaning instructions. Once you've checked the care label, add a bit of detergent to washing machine then turn it on.
Once the wash cycle is complete, take the trunks out of the machine and check to see if mud stains are still present. If they are, repeat steps 1 and 2 before drying the trunks. If the stains are gone, you can go ahead and dry trunks according to their care instructions.
Cleaning mud stains from your swim trunks is a relatively simple process. Just make sure to treat any fresh stains quickly, then wash the trunks in the washing machine. Finally, check them after washing to ensure the mud stains have been completely removed.
