When mud gets on clothing it can seem like an impossible mess to get out. But with the right tools and know-how, you can get those mud stains out in no time. Here’s how:
- Gently scrape off any excess mud from fabric with a spoon or butter knife. Do not press hard – this could embed the mud deeper into the fabric.
- Fill a bucket with lukewarm water and a mild liquid detergent. Swish the water around to create suds.
- Put the T-shirt in the bucket and let it soak for 30 minutes to an hour.
- Rinse the shirt with cool water and check for any remaining stains. If there are any, repeat steps 1–3.
- Lay the T-shirt flat on a clean towel. Blot the back of the T-shirt with a dry towel to absorb any remaining excess moisture.
- Allow the shirt to air dry completely.
That’s it! With a little bit of care and patience, your T-shirt will look as good as new.
