How do you get mud out of wool clothes?

Published in Wool Stain Removal 2 mins read

To remove mud from wool clothes, follow these steps:

  1. Let the mud dry completely. This will make it easier to remove without damaging the wool fibers.
  2. Scrape off the excess mud. Use a dull knife or spoon to gently remove any loose mud. Be careful not to scrub or rub the mud, as this could push it further into the fibers.
  3. Brush the area with a stiff bristle brush. This will help to remove any remaining mud and loosen any stubborn spots.
  4. Soak the stain in detergent. Use a mild detergent specifically designed for wool and soak the stain for 15 minutes.
  5. Apply a stain remover. If the stain is still visible, apply a wool-safe stain remover and let it sit for 3-5 minutes.
  6. Wash and dry the garment. Wash the garment according to the care instructions on the label. Avoid using hot water, as this can shrink the wool.

Remember to always test any cleaning solution on a hidden area of the garment first to ensure it doesn't cause discoloration or damage.
