How Do You Remove Mud Stains?
Most mud stains can be removed by washing the item according to the
care instructions. Let the mud dry, then brush off as much as possible
using a soft bristle brush, such as an old tooth brush. Then wash using
regular laundry detergent.
For those more difficult stains, try one of the many pretreatment
products on the market. You can also use a mixture of detergent and
ammonia as a pretreatment:
- Measure the amount of detergent needed for the load. Take a small
amount of the detergent and mix it with regular household ammonia (the
non-sudsing type) to form a paste and apply to the stained area. Let
stand for five to ten minutes, then launder as usual using the hottest
water allowable for the garment.
- Be sure to test for colorfastness before using any stain removal
agent. To test for color fastness, apply a small amount of the product
to an unexposed area of the garment. Let stand for about five minutes,
then rinse. If the color is affected, don't use the product. Also
check the label on your laundry detergents, as many of them give
step-by-step pretreatment instructions.
