Step 1: Gather Your Supplies
You will need some basic supplies to get started:
- White vinegar
- Old toothbrush
- A scoop of baking soda
- Lint roller
- Paper towels or cloths
Step 2: Blot the Stain
Before you start attempting to remove the stain, gently blot it with a paper towel or clean cloth. This will help absorb as much moisture as possible before taking further action.
Step 3: Pre-Treat with Vinegar and Baking Soda
Mix equal parts white vinegar and hot water in a bowl. Dip an old toothbrush into solution and rub it onto the stain. Follow this up by sprinkling a scoop of baking soda onto the stain and let it sit for 30 minutes to let the vinegar and baking soda work their magic.
Step 4: Wash the Shirt
Once the vinegar and baking soda have had time to work on the stain, wash the shirt according to the instructions on the garment label. If the stain is still not completely gone, repeat steps 3 and 4 until the stain is removed.
Step 5: Finish with the Lint Roller
After washing, use a lint roller to pick up any lingering particles of dirt or pet hair which may have been transferred to the shirt during the cleaning process.
Conclusion
Cleaning pet stains from button-down shirts can be done quickly and easily using vinegar, baking soda, and a few other basic supplies. With this five-step guide, you can learn how to remove pet stains and save your favorite shirt!
