Instructions on Removing Egg Stains
After you’ve got all your supplies ready, it’s time to rescue your clothes!
- Firstly, use your spoon to remove the egg stain from the outside of your clothes. Don’t worry too much about the inside of your fabric for now. Scraping the stained part to remove as much of the egg as possible. This also works with a butter knife.
- When you’ve done scraping with a spoon, proceed to rinse your egg-stained clothes with cold water and start scraping the egg-stained part to soften it.
Additionally, we strongly advise against using hot water. Eggs are protein; hot water will only cook the protein and will damage the fabric!
- After you’ve used a spoon and finished rinsing your clothes, we recommend putting a laundry detergent (read the label first) on the egg-stained part for better and cleaner results. Simply pour a detergent directly onto the egg stain and using the same brush as before, spread it out. It’s important to stay patient as egg stains do need care and attention.
- Fourthly, you will need to load your egg-stained clothes into the washing machine. To make the cleaning process more seamless, don’t rinse off the liquid detergent.
However, before you do load, always read the labels on your clothes for better care.
- Moreover, place the correct amount of liquid detergent into the washing machine. If you feel unsure about the correct dose, use a pre-treat cap to guide you.
- Start your washing machine with the regular cycle and the hottest temperature (depending on the instructions and labels on your clothes.
