Step 1: Pre-Treat The Stain

The first step to removing a varnish stain is to pre-treat the stain. Start by wetting the stained area with some cold water. This will help to loosen up the varnish and make it easier to remove. Next, apply a few drops of laundry detergent to the stained area and rub it gently with a cloth or sponge. Allow the detergent to set in for 10-15 minutes before rinsing it off with cold water.

Step 2: Apply Rubbing Alcohol

Once the detergent has been rinsed away, it's time to apply rubbing alcohol to the stained area. Soak a cotton ball in rubbing alcohol and then dab it directly onto the stain. Allow the alcohol to sit for several minutes before rinsing the fabric with cold water.

Step 3: Wash the Clothing Item

Once the rubbing alcohol has been applied and rinsed away, it's time to toss the clothing item into the washing machine. Use a gentle detergent and choose the delicate cycle. After the wash cycle is complete, inspect the stained area to make sure the varnish has been removed. If not, repeat the pre-treatment and rubbing alcohol application steps before washing again.

Step 4: Dry the Clothing Item

Once the washing cycle has been completed, it's important to dry the clothing item properly. Hang item up to air dry, and avoid using a dryer as the intense heat may set the varnish stain into the fabric. If necessary, you can also try spot-drying the stained area with a hair dryer before allowing garment to air dry the rest of the way.

Conclusion

By following these four simple steps, you should be able to successfully remove a varnish stain from your Aeropostale clothing. Keep in mind that you may need to repeat the pre-treatment and rubbing alcohol applications several times before the stain is completely gone. As always, check label on your clothing item to determine the best method for cleaning and drying.
