We hope you’ve enjoyed your summer as much as we have! Spending time outdoors, picnics, barbeques, heat, cold treats… all of these things make summer fun, but also pose threats to your favorite summer clothes!

Try these tricks to get rid of some common summer stains:

Grass & Mud

Whether you enjoy spreading a blanket for a picnic or your kids roll around the backyard, grass stains seem like an inevitable part of summer. These can be particularly tricky due to green chlorophyll in grass. First soak the stain in cold water and vinegar (2 to 1 ratio) or use a pretreatment product, like Spray ‘n Wash or OxiClean. Launder using a detergent with enzymes, to help break up protein stains. If it persists, bring your garment to us for more treatment!

If you find mud smeared on your garment, first let it dry then brush off as much as possible. Pre-treat with a gentle detergent and water, and bleach any remaining stain with the same vinegar and water solution above.

Condiments

Picnics, barbeques, hotdogs, burgers… condiments galore! Ketchup, Mustard, and Barbecue Sauce all can leave evidence behind on your shirt. At first sign of a drip, scrape away excess sauce and soak or dab the stain with water as soon as possible. Pretreat with liquid laundry detergent or prewash stain remover, then wash in the warm water (if appropriate for the fabric). For lighter fabrics, hydrogen peroxide could be sprayed on the stain to act as a mild bleach.

Summer Sweets

Sweet, sugary treats are a favorite aspect of summer, but can leave messy traces. Ice cream should be pre-treated with an enzyme detergent. Soak in detergent dissolved in water for at least 30 minutes then wash normally.

Popsicles packed full of sticky sugar and food coloring leave behind bright traces on clothing. Soak as soon as possible in cold water, then wash normally. Add color-safe bleach, great for water-based stains, for larger or tricky stains.

Sunscreen

This summer staple will inevitably leave traces behind along the edges of your clothing and swimsuits. Spray sunscreen can be a sneaky offender, leaving spots of hidden grease stains behind. Remove excess sunscreen right away. A handy trick if you’re at the beach: pour a little sand over the spilled sunscreen. The sand will make the lotion clump and brush off the fabric. Pre-treat with stain remover, laundry detergent, or dishwashing liquid then wash normally.
