What You'll Need
- Warm water
- Laundry detergent
- Soft cloth
Instructions
- Dampen a soft cloth with warm water.
- Gently dab the affected area with the cloth. Be careful not to rub the rouge further into the stocking.
- Mix your laundry detergent with warm water in a bucket until you've formed a soapy solution.
- Submerge the stockings in the soapy water, and let them soak for 30 minutes.
- Remove the stockings from the water and rinse them with warm water.
- Allow stockings to air-dry before wearing.
Tips
- Be sure to test the detergent in a less visible area of the stocking before use.
- If the stain persists, try soaking the stockings in glycerin for several hours.
- For more stubborn stains, dissolve 1 tablespoon of baking soda in 1 cup of warm water. Dip the affected area in the solution for up to an hour and rinse.
