Steps to Remove Mud Stains from Children’s Clothes
Mud stains on children’s clothes can become stubborn if not washed on time. Here are the steps explaining how to remove mud stains from clothes.
1
Do Not Let the Mud Dry and Remove Excess Mud
Avoid waiting for the mud to dry, as it will leave a permanent mark on the cloth.
If there is a thick layer of mud on the clothing, gently remove as much as possible using your hands or a soft brush. Avoid rubbing the stain, as this can push the mud deeper into the fabric fibres.
You can also rinse the stained area under running water to prevent loose mud from spreading onto other clothes or depositing inside the washer.
2
Use any Ariel detergent i.e. Powder, Platinum Gel or Pods for Machine Washing
Place the recommended number of Ariel Original All-in-1 PODS® at the bottom of the empty washing machine drum before adding the clothes.
The PODs dissolve completely during the wash to help remove stubborn mud, dirt, and everyday stains. Always handle the PODs with dry hands to prevent them from dissolving before use.
3
Load the Washing Machine Properly
Avoid overloading the washing machine with clothes. Leave enough space for the clothes to move freely so the POD can dissolve completely and the detergent can circulate evenly for an effective wash.
4
Select the Right Wash Cycle
Read the garment's care label for the recommended wash cycle. Ariel Original All-in-1 PODS® offer effective cleaning even on cold and quick wash cycles, making them ideal for everyday laundry.
However, for heavily soiled school uniforms or play clothes, go with a longer wash cycle if the fabric allows.
5
Unload the Clothes
Take the clothes out of the washing machine as soon as the cycle ends. Also, wipe away any mud or dirt left on the drum or door seal to prevent it from transferring onto the next load of laundry.
