What is the best way to get out a mustard stain?

Answer by  jwalk (389)

Mustard is difficult to remove. Pretreat the stain with a heavy-duty liquid laundry detergent. Rinse thoroughly. Soak the shirt in a dilute solution of all-fabric powdered bleach. If the stain remains, soak the garment in a dilute solution of liquid chlorine bleach for up to 15 minutes. (This is usually safe for light colored cottons.) Rinse thoroughly. Launder as usual.

Just blot the stain with a paper towel or wash rag. Spray your detergent on it right away. Throw it in the washer and the stain should be gone. If not, mix 1/4 tablespoon each of dish soap and white vinegar with 1/4 cup of warm water together, put it on the stain and throw it in the washer.

Start by removing any excess/dried mustard. Then rub the stain with laundry detergent and allow it to sit for 5 to 10 minutes, then rinse it and wring it out. Then apply a stain remover such as Shout or Spray 'N Wash, following the directions for that. Wash the shirt. DO NOT dry until stain is removed!

Mix a 1/2 cup of water with 1/2 teaspoon liquid dish soap and 4-5 drops of white vinegar. Put on the stains and let soak. Rinse well and launder as usual.

Gently scrap any access mustard off with a dull knife. Soak the shirt in cold water for about one hour. Apply your favorite stain remover and let stand for about 15 additional minutes. Wash in your machine along with your regular load of clothes and you should be good to go!!!!!

In a small dish, combine one ounce of rubbing alcohol with three ounces of dish soap(any will work, but I prefer dawn). Apply the well mixed solution to the stain, allow to set for 15 minutes, rinse in cold water, then wash as usual.
