What You'll Need

  • Dish soap
  • Borax
  • Oxygen bleach
  • Sponge
  • Old Toothbrush
  • Warm water

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Soak the underwear in warm water and dish soap for at least 30 minutes. This will help to break down the paint and make it easier to remove.
  2. Rinse the underwear in cold water and then rub a generous amount of Borax onto the stain. Let it sit for 10 minutes before washing the underwear again in cold water.
  3. Mix some oxygen bleach and warm water together and use a sponge to apply the mixture onto stain. Let it sit for 15 minutes before rinsing it off.
  4. Scrub the stain with an old toothbrush and some dish soap. Rinse off the soap and then repeat the steps until stain is gone.

Additional Tips

  • If the stain is still visible after following the steps above, try soaking the underwear in a solution of equal parts hydrogen peroxide and warm water for 1 hour before repeating the steps.
  • Always read the care instructions on your underwear before cleaning them and make sure to use products that are safe for the fabric.
