Steps for Cleaning Salad Dressing Stains from Activewear
- If the stain is fresh, cover it with a paper towel and press firmly to absorb as much of the liquid as possible.
- Pour a small amount of rubbing alcohol on the stain. Be sure to test an inconspicuous area of the garment first.
- Rub the stained area in a circular motion with a cloth or soft-bristled brush.
- Rinse the garment in cold water to remove the rubbing alcohol.
- If the stain is still visible, pre-treat with a laundry pre-wash stain remover product using package instructions and then launder as usual.
Additional Tips for Cleaning Salad Dressing Stains from Activewear
- Making sure to act as soon as possible is important; the longer a stain sits, the more difficult it is to remove.
- Be sure to check the care label instructions before laundering your activewear.
- Allow the garments to air dry instead of machine drying for best results.
