- Soft cloth
- Laundry detergent
- Bucket or bowl
Step 1: Blotting the Stain
Before attempting any kind of solvent, it’s important to first get rid of the excess stain from your clothing. Take a soft cloth and use it to blot the stained area. This will help to remove as much of the varnish as possible without using any cleaning solution.
Step 2: Create a Soaking Solution
In a bucket or bowl, mix equal parts white vinegar and rubbing alcohol. Add a teaspoon of laundry detergent to mixture and stir until everything is completely dissolved. Place your Dolce & Gabbana clothing into the solution and allow it to soak for at least 30 minutes. This will help to break down the varnish and make it easier to remove.
Step 3: Washing the Clothing
Once the clothing has had a chance to soak, take it out of the solution and place it in a sink or tub filled with cold water. Gently agitate the garment to help the varnish dissolve. Once it feels as though the stain has been lifted, it’s time to wash the item. Follow the instructions on the garment’s tag and use the same laundry detergent that was used in soaking solution.
Step 4: Drying Clothing
Once the clothing has been washed, it’s time to dry it. It’s best to let the clothing air dry. Avoid putting it in the dryer as the heat may cause varnish to set back into the garment.
Step 5: Re-treating Stain
If there’s still some stubborn varnish left on the garment, you may need to repeat the steps above. Start by blotting the area with a soft cloth and then creating a new soaking solution. Allow the clothing to soak again before washing and drying it. Keep repeating process until the stain is gone.
