How To Remove Beer Stains From Clothes

Step 1: Keep It Wet

It's always better to treat the stain as soon as possible. Since it's a wet spill, try to keep it wet until the stain is completely out. Drying it will only allow the stain to cling tightly to your shirt. And be sure to use cool water. Heat sets sugar, which is found in beer of all kinds.

Step 2: Mix It Up

Combine 2 cups of cold water, 2 Tbsp of white vinegar and 1 tsp (or a quick squirt) of dishwashing liquid. Dishwashing liquid isn't just for cleaning dishes. It's also useful for treating stains made from food and drinks. Just steer clear of the products made with added bleaches, perfumes and moisturizers. Also, only use clear or white to avoid further staining the fabric.

Step 3: Pre-Treat

Apply the solution to the stain with a light colored cloth. It's easy to want to put some muscle into fighting stains. But rubbing too hard can cause the fibers of the fabric to get fuzzy and frayed. Resist the temptation and lightly blot the stain instead. Now all you have to do is wash and dry the shirt as usual.
