Step 1: Blot up the Stain
Start by taking a clean cloth or paper towel to the stain. Press gently on fabric to blot up as much of the liquid as possible.
Step 2: Mix a Cleaning Solution
Mix together a cleaning solution using one tablespoon of white vinegar, one tablespoon of dish soap and two cups of warm water. Use a spoon to mix ingredients together until they’re blended well.
Step 3: Apply the Cleaning Solution
Place the stained area of sweatshirt against the sink or bathtub and put the cleaning solution into the stain. Scrub gently with your fingers or a soft brush to work the solution into fabric. Use cool water to rinse out the solution.
Step 4: Wash the Sweatshirt
Wash sweatshirt in cold water on the gentle cycle. If the stain is still visible after washing, repeat steps 2-4 until the stain is gone. For stubborn stains, you may need to use a stain remover.
Step 5: Dry the Sweatshirt
Allow the sweatshirt to air dry naturally or lay it on a flat surface. Do not put it in the dryer or iron it until you are sure the stain is completely gone.
Conclusion
Removing pet stains from your favorite sweatshirt can be a challenge, but it’s not impossible! With these steps, you should be able to get rid of any unwanted pet stains in no time. Just remember to be patient and keep it up until stain is gone.
