Getting stains out of lycra
I just discovered that one of my favorite costumes has some small stains on the back of the skirt. They look like dried blood but I have no idea how they got there or if that is really whats they. Any suggestions on how to get them out? I've tried spot cleaning with a clean white washcloth and cold water but it hasn't helped.
Thnkas in advance for any and all help on this!

Re: Getting stains out of lycra
I'd start with cold water and mild soap (Woolite or a weak solution of detergent), and if that doesn't work, move on to a stain remover. I love the Carbona products. They have a general stain remover, and a set targeted to specific stains. If you are pretty sure it is blood, you could start with #4 (Blood & Dairy), but if you have no idea what it is, my go-to choice would be #3 (Ink & Crayon). That seems to take out nearly every stain I come across. Test on the inside of the hem first, though. Good luck!
