Accidents with pets can be a bummer, and the last thing you want is for accident to end up on your underwear. Keep reading for easy advice to quickly clean pet messes from your undies.

Step 1: Remove as Much of the Stain as Possible

The first step to dealing with the mess is to remove as much of the stain as possible. Gently rub a cloth over the affected area to help remove the stain, taking care not to spread it further. If you’re dealing with pet hair, use a lint roller to remove the hairs.

Step 2: Spot-Treat the Stain

Once you’ve removed as much as you can with a cloth, it’s time to spot-treat the stain. Use a stain pre-treatment like a hydrogen peroxide or enzyme-based cleaning solution, and leave it to soak for 10 minutes before washing. If you don’t have any pre-treatment handy, mix together some white vinegar, detergent, and cold water and apply the mixture to the stain. Let this stand for 10 minutes as well.

Step 3: Washing the Underwear

Once you’ve spot-treated the stain, it’s time to wash the item of clothing. Make sure to check the label and follow instructions, plus add extra detergent to help remove tough stains. For added measure, try adding a scoop of baking soda to the wash to help get rid of any remaining odors.

Step 4: Finishing Touches

Finally, last step is to give your item of clothing a finishing touch. Check the stain and if you still see any signs of it, repeat steps two and three until it’s completely gone. Then, dry the garment as you normally would.

Conclusion

Getting rid of pet stains on your underwear doesn’t have to be a hassle. With these simple steps, you can quickly and effectively remove those pesky stains and get your undies looking good as new!
