How to Remove Dirt Stains From White Socks
- 1). Soak heavily soiled socks in a basin filled with 1 gallon warm water and 1 cup lemon juice. The lemon juice is a natural bleaching agent that will draw the dirt stains out of the socks without damaging the fabric. Let soak for 1 hour.
- 2). Place the socks in the washing machine, using a warm water cycle. Pour a capful of your regular laundry detergent into the wash, along with 1 cup lemon juice and 2 tbsp. powdered dishwasher detergent. The combination of these ingredients will lift and remove the dirt stains while also restoring the white color.
- 3). Allow the machine to complete the wash cycle, then dry if all stains are removed. Repeat the above procedure if any stain remains after washing.
