Step 1: Blot the Stain

Start by taking a clean white cloth and pressing it onto the stained area. Do not rub or scrub the area, as this may cause further damage. Instead, simply blot spot to absorb excess moisture.

Step 2: Apply Detergent

Take a teaspoon of detergent and mix it with warm water. Soak cloth into the detergent solution and then use it to gently scrub the affected area. Make sure to cover the entire stained area with the soapy solution.

Step 3: Rinse It Off

Once you've let the detergent set for a few minutes, rinse off the board shorts with cold water. This will help to remove any stubborn stains that may have been left behind.

Step 4: Launder

Now place your board shorts in the washing machine and launder them as you would normally. Once they're done washing, hang them up to dry and voila - your board shorts are good as new!
