Step 1: Blotting
The first step to cleaning wildflower stains from a sarong is to blot the affected area with a cloth or paper towel. Blotting absorbs the stain and prevents it from setting deeper into fabric. Work from the edges of the stain toward to the center and make sure to use a light touch.
Step 2: Pre-Treat with Detergent
Once excess stain has been blotted away, pre-treat the area with a laundry detergent. Make a mixture of one teaspoon of detergent and one cup of warm water and apply it directly onto the stain. Rub the mixture gently into the fabric using a soft cloth or an old toothbrush. Leave the detergent on the area for 15 to 20 minutes.
Step 3: Soak in Warm Water
After pre-treating the area, fill a sink or basin with warm water and add a tablespoon of mild laundry detergent. Submerge the sarong in the water and let it soak for at least 30 minutes. If the stain is still visible after soaking, go back to the pre-treating step and repeat.
Step 4: Rinse with Cold Water
Once the stain has been soaked, rinse the sarong with cold water. Rinsing helps to remove any remaining detergent residue. Avoid rubbing the fabric while rinsing, as this can damage the sarong and cause the stain to set. Allow the sarong to air dry completely before wearing.
