Mud and dirt are inevitable enemies of laundry. They may seem easy to manage, but if not handled correctly, they can lead to an unsightly and permanent stain. By following a few simple steps, you’ll be able to tackle even the most formidable mud stain with ease.

Remove Excess:

If the stain is wet mud (as opposed to dried dirt), allow the mud to dry completely. DO NOT attempt to wipe away mud that is wet or damp as this will spread the stain and possibly grind it into the fabric fibers. When the mud is dry, gently scrape off the excess with the plastic knife or spoon, being careful not to grind the dirt into the fabric. Gently brush at the dirt/dried mud with small brush or toothbrush.

• Dose:

  Put a few drops of JOBY washing liquid detergent or use the laundry soap onto the stain. You can use the cap to ensure you use the right amount of detergent. Rub it into the stain with your thumb and forefinger. Add a drop or two of water to the stain spot and briskly rub with brush or toothbrush on BOTH sides of the fabric, using circular motions. After the pre-treat, pour it into the detergent dispenser if you have an HE machine, or directly into the drum before loading the clothes if you have a non-HE machine.

• Load:

  Without rinsing off the detergent, place the garment into the washer with other items. Leaving the detergent on the stain will give your wash that extra boost of cleaning power.

• Wash:

  Wash on the usual cycle, on the hottest wash temperature indicated. Always check the instructions on the garment’s care label.

• Unload:

  When cycle is completely finished, check the clothes carefully for any sign of the stain. If the stain remains, repeat the previous steps. NEVER dry clothes in a dryer if a stain remains as this will set the stain, which will then be nearly impossible to remove.

• Tips

• ALWAYS read the label on your garment to determine proper washing instructions.

 

• It is generally a good idea to wash stained clothes separately from another laundry to avoid spreading the stain to other clothes.

 

• If the dirt or mud stain is on a delicate fabric such as silk or wool, or if the garment is designated as dry-clean only, take the item to a professional cleaner. For help finding reputable cleaners in your area, contact us.

 

• Always read and follow directions products offered carefully, making certain that the product is appropriate for the fabric you have in mind
