Whether it’s employee appreciation day or an annual celebration, office parties are a great way to unwind. But if your favourite dress has become victim to a drink spill, don’t worry. The trick is to act as soon as possible to keep the spill from penetrating deep into the fibres.
Since whiskey is a dark-coloured drink, it can leave behind brownish stains. Try this effective step-by-step cleaning method to save your dress.
a) Paper towels or cotton cloth
b) Dishwashing liquid
c) Baking soda
d) White vinegar
e) Liquid detergent
If the spill is fresh and the stain is wet, blot to absorb it with a bunch of paper towels. You can also use a thin cotton cloth as an alternative.
If the stains are dry, make a thick paste of dishwashing liquid and baking soda. Apply a thick coat of this mixture on both the sides of the fabric. Wait for 20 minutes.
Hold the affected portion of the garment under running water and wash off the paste. This will remove most of the stain deposit and make the further stain-removal process easy and effective.
Now, make a soaking solution by mixing 2 tsp. of dishwashing liquid and 1 tbsp. of white vinegar in ½ a bucket of lukewarm water. Soak the garment in this solution for 20 minutes. The dishwashing liquid and vinegar together will loosen the stain.
Now wash your garment on a regular wash cycle by using an effective detergent. If you are looking for a good detergent for your washing machine, we recommend Surf Excel Matic Liquid. It is specially formulated for washing machine, and helps maintain its life.
