A Mustard Miracle: How to Clean Mustard Stains from Activewear

No one likes the sight of a stubborn mustard stain on their workout gear. While it can seem like an impossible situation to remove, with the right know-how and materials, you can get that stain out of your activewear once and for all.

Materials You'll Need

• White cloth
• White paper towels
• Cold water
• Laundry detergent or Dawn dish soap
• White vinegar
• Baking soda
• Rubbing alcohol

Follow these Steps:

1. As soon as you notice the mustard stain, use a clean cloth or paper towel to blot up as much of it as possible. Do not rub at the stain!
2. Once you've blotted as much as possible, rinse area under cold water. Do not use hot water, as this will set the stain.
3. Now, mix a solution of laundry detergent or Dawn dish soap and cold water. Soak the garment in the mixture for about 15 minutes.
4. Next, make a paste of white vinegar and baking soda, and apply it to the stain. Allow paste to sit on the stain for 15 minutes, then rinse off with cold water.
5. Finally, take a cloth dampened with rubbing alcohol and dab at stain until it's removed. Rinse the area with cold water and let the garment air dry.

Tips for Prevention and Removal

• Always check clothing item labels before using any cleaning methods. Some fabrics may be delicate and require special care.
• Do not put the item in dryer until you are sure the stain is gone. The heat from the dryer can set the stain, making it impossible to remove.
• If all else fails, bring your item to a professional cleaner who can give it a deep clean without damaging the fabric.
