Removing Varnish from Uniforms
- Combine two tablespoons of liquid detergent with one quart of warm water and stir it to form a solution.
- Dip a clean cloth or sponge into the solution and scrub the stain with it.
- Rinse the area by rubbing it with a separate clean cloth or sponge soaked in cold water.
- Allow the uniform to dry in a shaded area.
Cleaning Stubborn Stains
- If the varnish stain is very stubborn, combine equal parts white vinegar and water in a bowl.
- Dip a clean cloth or a sponge into the mixture.
- Apply it directly on the varnish stain and let it sit for a few minutes.
- Rinse uniform with cold water and rub the area with a damp cloth or sponge to ensure that all traces of the cleaning agent are removed.
- Allow the uniform to dry in a shaded area.
Tips
- Test any cleaning agent on a small area of the uniform before you use it on the entire stain.
- Never rub the fabric forcefully as it may cause damage.
- Do not use warm water to rinse the fabric as the heat may cause the stain to become permanent.
- Ensure that the uniform is completely dry before ironing it.
