Removing Mustard Stains on Irish Crochet
- Soak the affected area in cool water and laundry detergent, then gently scrub it with a brush or cloth.
- If the stain persists, mix up a mustard-removing solution of borax, white vinegar, and warm water. Dip a cloth into the mixture and use it to blot the affected area.
- For especially stubborn mustard stains, try an oil-based solvent. Apply a small amount of the solvent to a cloth or brush and dab or brush it onto the stained area.
- Once the stain is removed, rinse the item with cold water to remove any remaining residue.
- Finish the job by washing the item as usual using an oxygen-based bleach, making sure to follow all instructions on product's packaging.
Tips and Warnings
- Always test any stain removal method on an inconspicuous area of fabric first.
- Be careful when scrubbing, as vigorous brushing can damage delicate fabrics.
- Oil-based stain removers can discolor certain fabrics, so always use them sparingly and with caution.
