Use Detergent and Water
For simple pet stains, a mixture of detergent and water can usually do the trick. Mix up a solution of mild detergent and cool to lukewarm water and apply it directly to the stain with a clean cloth. Gently rub the solution into the fabric in a circular motion, taking care not to rub too hard so as to avoid damaging the fabric. Once the stain has been lifted, rinse the area with cold water and allow the garment to dry completely before wearing again.
Use a Stain Remover
For more stubborn stains, you may need to try a commercial stain remover specifically formulated to remove pet stains. Be sure to follow instructions on the packaging to ensure you are using the product correctly. If stain is particularly tough, you may need to repeat the process several times, allowing the product to sit on the stain for several minutes before rinsing off with cold water. Once stain is gone, let garment air dry.
Professional Cleaning
If all else fails, you may need to take your Hanbok to a professional cleaner. Professional cleaners have access to specialized products and equipment that can help to remove tough pet stains. They are also able to provide expert advice and guidance on how to care for your Hanbok and keep it looking its best.
Preventing Pet Stains
The best way to keep your Hanbok clean is to prevent pet stains from happening in the first place. To do this, keep your pet away from the garment when it is not being worn and ask them to refrain from touching or sleeping on it. If your pet does get too close, be sure to clean the area straight away to stop the stain from setting.
