Step 1: Pre-Treat the Stain

The first step requires pre-treating stain and breaking up the pigments that have settled in the material. Start by mixing a mild detergent with two cups of water and one tablespoon of white vinegar. Then, use an old toothbrush or a sponge to apply the solution to the stained area. You may need to let the solution soak for a few minutes if the stain is particularly stubborn.

Step 2: Do a Deep Clean

After you pre-treat the stain, you will need to do a deep clean in order to remove any remaining pigments. In a bucket, mix together four liters of warm water, one cup of liquid laundry detergent and one tablespoon of white vinegar. Soak the coveralls in the bucket for 10 to 15 minutes before taking them out and rinsing with cold water.

Step 3: Dry and Restore

The final step is to dry the coveralls in a well-ventilated area such as a balcony or porch. Once completely dry, the coveralls should look like new. If there are still residual stains, you can apply a fabric stain remover or rubbing alcohol to area and gently scrub it with a toothbrush.
