For best results, start by blotting the stain with a mild soap and warm water solution as soon as possible. Be sure to use a clean, dry cloth, and gentle pressure – too much pressure can push the stain further into fabric.
Once you have blotted the stain, put the garment in the wash on a gentle cycle with like colors. Check the care label on the garment for washing instructions. If care label does not indicate that it is safe to use detergent, use a laundry detergent without bleach or other strong chemicals.
If the stain remains after laundering, create a paste using baking soda and water. Apply paste to the stain with a clean cloth and let it sit for about 30 minutes. Then rinse the garment with cold water and launder again.
If the stain still remains, try using rubbing alcohol as a spot treatment. Before applying, make sure to test the alcohol on a small area of the garment first to ensure that it won’t damage the material. Take a damp cloth and dip it into a small amount of rubbing alcohol. Gently dab the stain until it is gone.
If all else fails, try a vinegar solution. Mix equal parts white vinegar and cold water in a bowl, then take a clean cloth and dip it into the mixture. Gently scrub the stain with the cloth and then rinse with cold water. Lastly, put garment in wash on a gentle cycle.
Stains on yoga pants can be a nuisance, but they don’t have to be! Opt for a mild soap and water solution first, and if that doesn’t work, try making a paste with baking soda and water, or using rubbing alcohol or vinegar. With these easy steps, your yoga pants will be good as new in no time!
