Getting stains out of ball pants, especially those grass and dirt stains, requires a targeted approach. Fels-Naptha soap is a highly effective, readily available solution.
Here's how to use it:
-
Wet the Fels-Naptha Bar: Thoroughly wet the Fels-Naptha bar.
-
Apply Directly to Stains: Scrub the wet Fels-Naptha bar directly onto the stains on the ball pants. Ensure the soap covers the entire stained area.
-
Soak: Allow the soap to soak into the fabric for a few minutes to penetrate the stain.
-
Optional: Pre-Soak with Stronger Stain Remover (for Severe Stains): If the stains are particularly stubborn, consider soaking the pants in a solution like Out White Brite after the Fels-Naptha application, but before laundering. Follow the product's instructions.
-
Launder as Usual: Wash the ball pants in your washing machine with your regular laundry detergent, following the garment's care label instructions.
-
Line Dry: Hang the pants to dry on a clothesline or drying rack. Avoid using a dryer, as the heat can set any remaining stains. Inspect the pants after air drying; if the stain persists, repeat the process before drying in a machine.
Key Considerations:
- Act Fast: The sooner you treat the stain, the easier it will be to remove.
- Test in an Inconspicuous Area: Before applying Fels-Naptha to the entire stain, test it on a hidden area of the fabric to ensure it doesn't cause discoloration.
- Repeat if Necessary: Stubborn stains might require multiple treatments.
By following these steps, you can effectively remove most stains from ball pants and keep them looking their best.
