Method One: Vinegar and Water

Mix a solution of equal parts white vinegar and warm water, then gently dab the stain with a paper towel or cloth (not a brush). Repeat until the stain is gone. Then rinse dashiki with cold water and allow it to air dry.

Method Two: Baking Soda and Detergent

Mix a small amount of washing detergent with baking soda and use a cloth to gently apply the paste to the stain. Wait a few minutes, and then rinse with cold water. Allow fabric to air dry.

Method Three: Hydrogen Peroxide and Detergent

Mix equal parts hydrogen peroxide and detergent, and then use a cloth to apply the mixture to affected area. Leave it on for a few minutes, then rinse with cold water and air dry.

Method Four: Enzyme-Based Cleaners

Enzyme-based cleaners work by breaking down organic materials such as urine that can cause stains. Spray the cleaner onto stain and let it sit for a few minutes. Rinse with cold water, then allow to air dry.

Prevention Tips

The best way to avoid stains on a dashiki is to try and prevent them in the first place. This means preventing spills and being careful when eating or drinking around the fabric. If you do spill something, act quickly to clean up the mess before it has a chance to soak in.

Conclusion

Urine stains on a dashiki don't have to be a problem; there are several easy DIY solutions that can eliminate the stains in a matter of minutes. But prevention is always the best strategy, so be mindful of spillages at all times.
