What You'll Need
- Paper towel
- Laundry detergent
- Borax
- Hydrogen peroxide
Step 1: Absorb Residue
Before attempting to remove the stain, it's important to absorb any remaining liquid with a paper towel. Blot the stained area and allow it to dry for several minutes.
Step 2: Apply Detergent
Once the area has dried, apply a small amount of laundry detergent to the stain. Rub the detergent into the fabric using your fingers and then let it sit for 15-20 minutes.
Step 3: Sprinkle Borax
After the detergent has had time to work, sprinkle a small amount of Borax over the stain. This natural powder is an effective stain remover, so you'll want to be generous in your application.
Step 4: Rinse With Hydrogen Peroxide
Rinse the shirt in cold water, then soak it in a solution of hydrogen peroxide and cold water for 15 minutes. Afterward, wash the shirt as you normally would in cold water.
Conclusion
Cleaning urine stains from collared shirts can be a challenge, but following these simple steps will help you get rid of the stain without damaging your clothing. Just remember to act quickly and use the right products!
