What You Need

  • Borax
  • White vinegar
  • Stain-removing laundry detergent
  • Hydrogen peroxide

Steps For Removing Stain

  1. Start by soaking the stained area with cold water as soon as possible.
  2. Mix one tablespoon of borax with one cup of warm water until dissolved. Apply solution to stained area and allow it to sit for 15-20 minutes.
  3. Apply a few drops of white vinegar directly to the stain and gently rub.
  4. Lather on some laundry detergent meant for stubborn stains and let it sit for 10-15 minutes.
  5. Soak the sarong in a sink or washing machine filled with warm water and laundry detergent.
  6. Rinse the fabric with cold water and inspect the stain - if needed, repeat the process.
  7. If the stain persists, less ½ cup of hydrogen peroxide with 1 quart of cold water and soak fabric for 15 minutes.
  8. Once done, rinse the fabric with cold water and let it air dry.

Preventative Tips

  • Act fast when it comes to spills — the sooner you act, the better.
  • Always check labels on clothing before applying any type of solution.
  • Let garments dry fully before wearing.
