Step 1: Test the Material

Before you get started cleaning your hair clips, it's important to make sure the material used to make the clip can withstand being washed. To do this, put a drop of soap on the hair clip and rub it with a soft cloth. If it leaves clip noticeably discolored or causes it to become brittle, you should not attempt to wash the hair clip. Instead, take it to a professional cleaner.

Step 2: Pretreat Stains

If the material is safe to wash, the first step is pre-treating the stain. Make a paste using baking soda and water, and apply it directly onto the stain. Allow the paste to sit on the stain for 10 minutes before wiping it off with a damp cloth.

Step 3: Washing The Hair Clip

Once stain has been pretreated, it's time to wash the hair clip. Fill a sink or bowl with warm water and mix a few drops of mild laundry detergent into it. Place the clip into the water and let it sit for 15 minutes. Once done, rinse the clip with clean water and allow it to air dry.

Step 4: Sanitize Hair Clip

After washing the clip, it's important to sanitize it to make sure all bacteria and germs are removed. To do this, create a sanitizing solution by mixing one part white vinegar with three parts water. Dip the hair clip into solution and let it sit for 10 minutes before rinsing it off with clean water. Allow the clip to air dry completely.

Conclusion

Cleaning pet stains from hair clips doesn't have to be difficult. With these easy steps, you can make sure your hair clips look as good as new. Just remember to always test the material before washing and sanitizing the clip to make sure it won't be damaged.
