What You'll Need
- Toothbrush
- White vinegar
- Dish soap
- Oxygen bleach
- Baking soda
Instructions
- Working quickly (the sooner better), use a toothbrush to dab at the stain, taking care not to spread it further.
- Mix one part white vinegar with two parts water. Using this solution, apply it to the stain and let it sit for up to 15 minutes.
- Using a paper towel or old cloth, dab-dry the stains as much as possible. Be sure not to rub the stain.
- If stain persists, mix a solution of dish soap and warm water, and dip a clean cloth into the mixture.
- Using the damp cloth, gently blot the stain until it has lifted as much as possible.
- If the stain still remains, mix a solution of oxygen bleach and warm water, and apply it to the affected area.
- Let oxygen bleach sit for up to 10 minutes before rinsing thoroughly with cold water. Do not rub the fabric.
- If the stain is still visible, create a paste out of baking soda and water, and apply it to the stain. Let the paste sit for up to 30 minutes, then rinse with cold water.
Additional Tips
- Always pretest any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area to ensure colorfastness.
- Be sure to avoid using hot water, as this can set in the stain.
- If using oxygen bleach, always wear gloves when handling the chemical.
Conclusion
With these easy steps, you can now tackle stubborn wine stains on your sleep pants. Don't forget to always test a small spot first, and never rub the fabric aggressively. With a bit of elbow grease, your sleep pants will look good as new!
