Whether you have a cotton T-shirt, woolen dress, or a cotton blazer from Uniqlo, it's not uncommon for these pieces to suffer from varnish stains. Thankfully, all you need are supplies from your local grocery store and a bit of patience for them to be completely gone.
What You'll Need:
- White vinegar
- Baking soda
- Sponge
- Toothbrush / soft brush
- Towel
Procedure:
- Mix white vinegar and baking soda into a paste.
- Soak a sponge in the paste and gently scrub the varnish stained area.
- Dab the paste off with a clean towel.
- Use a toothbrush to scrub the affected area, if necessary.
- Rinse off the paste residue with water.
- Let area dry.
You may need to repeat the process multiple times before stain is completely gone. It's also important to test the vinegar/baking soda mixture on an inconspicuous area of garment first to make sure that fabric can withstand it.
How to Prevent Future Varnish Stains:
- Dry clean all fabrics labeled as 'dry clean only'
- Be mindful of the chemicals used when refinishing furniture and floors
- Protect clothing by wearing a smock when painting or refinishing furniture
- If you are using spray type varnish, use a mask and wear clothes that you don't mind throwing away after
