The important first step before attempting to wash the garment is to pre-treat stain. To do this, start by blotting stain with cold water and a cloth. This will help to remove as much of the stain as possible. Then, rub a bit of liquid laundry detergent into the stain, making sure to work it into the material. Let it soak in for a few minutes before rinsing it with cold water.
For next step, throw your Fila garment into washing machine. Make sure to select the cold-water setting and use a mild laundry detergent. Before closing the lid, add a generous amount of vinegar to the water. This natural ingredient is great for getting rid of odors and stains. When the cycle is finished, remove garment and hang it up to dry.
If stain hasn't been completely removed after washing, there is still hope. Try soaking the item in a solution made from one part white vinegar and two parts cold water. Let the clothing sit for one hour, then rinse it off with cold water and let it air dry. If the stain is still there, try rubbing baking soda into the spot and letting it sit for at least fifteen minutes.
If all else fails, take your Fila garment to a professional cleaner who can give it a deep cleaning. Specialized stain removers and techniques will be used to get rid of the stubborn spots. Be sure to mention that the stain is due to urine so they know the best way to address it.
Urine stains may seem daunting to remove, but with the right knowledge and tools you can clean them with ease. Fila garments can often be hard to manage, but following these steps can help you keep them looking fresh and new!
