Removing mustard stains from muslin fabric isn't as tricky as it might seem. All you need is a few basic cleaning supplies, some patience, and a bit of elbow grease.

Step 1: Blot the Stain Immediately

The first step in removing a mustard stain from muslin fabric is to blot the stain immediately. Grab a clean cloth and press firmly, but gently, against the stained area. Doing this will help to absorb any excess moisture and prevent the stain from spreading.

Step 2: Pretreat the Stain

Once you've blotted the stain, it's time to pretreat it. Use a stain-remover spray or a solution of warm water and detergent to lightly mist the stained area. Let the solution sit for 15 to 20 minutes before rinsing with cold water.

Step 3: Wash the Fabric

Next, you'll want to wash the fabric in the washing machine. Use the setting suggested for muslin fabric on care label and mix in a stain-fighting laundry detergent. Once the cycle is complete, check stain to make sure it's gone. If it's still visible, repeat the above steps until the stain is completely removed.

Step 4: Hang to Dry

Once stain has been removed, you can hang the fabric to dry. Make sure to hang the fabric away from direct sunlight to prevent fading or other discoloration.

With these four simple steps, you can easily remove mustard stains from muslin fabric and restore its original beauty.
