Removing Urine Stains
Begin by gently blotting the stain with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid scrubbing or rubbing the fabric, as this can cause the stain to spread further into the fabric fibers. Once you’ve blotted away as much of the moisture as possible, it’s time to move onto step two.
Mix together a solution of one part white vinegar to four parts cold water. Using a cloth or sponge, apply the mixture to the affected area. Allow the solution to sit for 15 minutes before blotting away any excess moisture with a clean cloth.
Once solution has been applied, you can use an alkaline laundry detergent, such as baking soda, to help break down the urine stain. Create a paste using baking soda and a few drops of lukewarm water. Apply the paste over the stain and let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes. Rinse the paste away with cold water and repeat if necessary.
Finally, rinse the fabric with cold water to remove detergent residue then air dry. If the stain remains, you can try soaking the fabric in a solution of one-part detergent and two parts cold water before repeating the process.
Preventing Urine Stains
In addition to treating and removing existing urine stains, there are steps that can be taken to prevent future ones. After washing and drying your cotton voile, spray the fabric with a fabric protector designed to repel liquids. This will help reduce risk of staining.
It’s also important to attend to urine stains as soon as possible after they occur. The longer the stain sits, the harder it will be to remove it.
