One way to remove urine stains from tights is by using a pre-treater. You can buy pre-treaters from a variety of stores or online. You simply spray the product onto the affected area and let it sit for several minutes. Then, rinse the tights in cold water and follow up with a regular cycle in the washing machine.

If possible, you should also try to provide some additional stain removal assistance. For example, make use of a heavy-duty detergent or even a specialized liquid cleaner for urine-removal purposes. You may want to try adding white vinegar or baking soda as well to help lift the stain.

It’s also worth mentioning that you should never use hot water on urine-stained garments. Hot water will only cause urine to set into the fabric, making it more difficult to remove. Stick with cool or warm water instead.

After cycle has finished, hang tights up and let them air dry. If the stain persists, wash them once more. You should also try treating the spot once again with a pre-treater or one of the liquids listed earlier.

Finally, make sure that you don't put the tights into a dryer. Heat will only make the stain even harder to remove.
