Varnish stains can seem impossible to remove, but once you know the right techniques, it can be done with relative ease. The first step is to identify the type of fabric that your pajamas are made of. Different fabrics and fabrics mixes react differently to different cleaning methods, so it’s best to make sure you’re aware of the fabric before trying to remove the stain.
Once you’ve identified fabric, then you’ll need to determine best cleaning method. If your pajamas are made of cotton, linen, or polyester, the best way to remove the varnish stain is by using a mixture of dishwashing liquid and cold water. Simply create a mix of one tablespoon of dishwashing liquid, and one cup of cold water. Then, dip a clean cloth into the mixture and dab it onto the stain. Once you’ve done that, let the fabric sit for about five minutes. Rinse the affected area with cold water and repeat the process until the stain is gone.
If your pajamas are made of silk or wool, you should use a mixture of equal parts white vinegar and water. Soak a clean cloth in the mixture and dab it onto the stained area. Let the fabric sit for five minutes, and then rinse with cold water. Repeat the application as necessary.
Always test any of these mixtures on a small, hidden area of your pajamas first, to ensure that the fabric won't be damaged. Also, be careful not to rub fabric too aggressively, as that can cause damage as well.
Once you’ve removed the stain, you should launder the pajamas as normal to get rid of any cleaning residue.
That’s all there is to it! With these tips and tricks, you’ll be able to remove those varnish stains from your pajamas easily.
