Pickle stains can be tough to tackle but, we’ve got an easy technique to aid you.

For best results, scrub the stained portion with Surf Excel liquid detergent before washing.

Step 1:

Hold the stained portion under running cold water. Prepare a solution of hydrogen peroxide and water for coloured shirts which cannot be treated with bleach. Mix the two in a ratio of 1-part hydrogen peroxide to 9 parts of water.

Step 2:

Soak the stained portion in the solution and let it sit for a few hours.

Step 3:

Rinse the item of clothing thoroughly in warm, clean water. Make sure you follow all the instructions given on the wash care label.

Step 4:

Repeat step 3 if needed. Then, wash the garment using a beach-based detergent.
