What You Need

  • Dish soap
  • Soft-bristled brush
  • Clean cloth or sponge
  • Vinegar
  • Baking soda

Step 1: Soak the Stain

Start by soaking the varnish stain in warm, soapy water. Use a mild dish soap for best results. After soaking for 15-20 minutes, gently scrub the area with a soft-bristled brush. This will help loosen stain from the fibers of the jacket.

Step 2: Rinse & Blot

Rinse the area with warm water and blot it dry with a clean cloth or sponge. Do not rub the cloth or sponge, as this could spread the stain and make it harder to remove.

Step 3: Apply Vinegar & Baking Soda

Mix equal parts vinegar and baking soda in a small bowl. Dip a clean cloth into mixture and gently dab it onto the stain. Let this sit for 10-15 minutes before rinsing. Repeat this process until the stain is completely removed.

Step 4: Wash & Dry

Finally, wash and dry the jacket according to the manufacturer's instructions. This will ensure that any residue from the vinegar and baking soda has been removed.

Conclusion

By following these four simple steps, you can easily remove varnish stains from jackets. With a little bit of elbow grease and the right supplies, you'll have your favourite jacket looking like new in no time.
