What is Voile Fabric?
Voile fabric is a lightweight semi-opaque curtain material that looks like cotton gauze. It is popular in home decor because it is relatively inexpensive and has a soft, airy look. Voile fabric requires special care when cleaning, as it may shrink if not laundered correctly.
Steps for Cleaning Urine Stains from Voile
- Pre-treat the stain as soon as possible with a mild detergent or laundry soap.
- Rinse the area with cool running water to remove the excess urine.
- Mix a solution of one part white vinegar and three parts water.
- Pour the mixture directly onto the affected area and allow it to soak for 10 minutes.
- Dab at the stain with an absorbent cloth or paper towel to absorb the liquid.
- Apply a liberal amount of laundry detergent to the stain and let it sit for five minutes.
- Rinse the area thoroughly with cool water until the soap is gone.
- Launder the voile in your washer on the gentle cycle in cold water.
- Dry the voile in the dryer on low heat or air-dry on the line.
Tips for Removing Urine Odor from Voile
- Vinegar is an effective odor remover and helps neutralize and eliminate urine smells.
- If the voile fabric is not colorfast, test any cleaning solutions in an inconspicuous area before treating the stained area.
- For tough urine stains, you may need to repeat the cleaning process several times before the stain is removed.
- Using an enzyme-based cleaner is another way to effectively remove urine odors.
- Add ½ cup of baking soda to the wash cycle to help absorb any remaining urine odor.
