Instructions
- Test an inconspicuous area of your swimsuit before beginning to make sure it won’t cause any adverse reactions.
- Mix together some dish soap, white vinegar and warm water in a small bowl.
- Dip a soft scrub brush into the mixture and use it to scrub the stained area.
- If the stains are still visible, sprinkle baking soda onto the affected area.
- Dampen a cloth with some cold water and use it to rub the baking soda into the stain.
- Rinse the swimsuit with cold water to remove the baking soda and remaining detergent.
