5 Way To Help Remove Those Stubborn Hijab Stains

When facing the intense heat of summer (and unfortunately, even fall due to the effects of global warming), hijab-wearing women often rely on two essential aspects to manage the heat effectively:

  1. Choice of Hijab Fabric: The type of fabric chosen for a hijab plays a crucial role in managing the heat. Lightweight options like our Bamboo Woven, known for their antimicrobial properties, HH Sports Tech Wrap that can cool by 1-2 degrees, and the classic Everyday Chiffons are ideal choices. Opting for light-coloured hijabs further enhances their heat-managing properties.

  2. Choice of Colour: Light colours are preferred for hijabs in the summer and fall months to deflect heat and keep the wearer cool.

However, wearing light-coloured hijabs in the heat often leads to inevitable issues like sweat and makeup stains. Dealing with these stains can be challenging, but there are effective cleaning hacks that can help. Here are some recommended approaches:

Cleaning Hacks for Stain Removal:

  1. Baking Soda Paste: Create a paste of baking soda and water, gently apply it to the stain on your hijab, and let it sit for at least 15 minutes. Afterward, wash the hijab following our regular care instructions.

  2. Baking Soda + Laundry Detergent: Mix baking soda and laundry detergent with water to form a paste. Apply this paste to the stain, let it sit for 15 minutes, and then wash the hijab as usual.

  3. Pre-treatment Stain Remover: Utilize a stain remover like Oxyclean pre-treatment spray or gel. Apply it to the stain, allowing it to sit before proceeding with the regular washing process.

  4. Talcum Powder for Oil-Based Stains: For makeup stains that are oil-based, sprinkle talcum powder on the stain to absorb the oil before proceeding with the regular washing routine.

  5. Dish Soap for Satin: Treat satin stains with care. Apply a few drops of mild dish soap onto the fabric and use a soft cloth to gently rub the soap into the stain with a small amount of water. Rinse and repeat if necessary before washing as usual.

It's crucial to treat stains on your hijab as soon as possible, ideally right after they occur, to prevent them from setting in. Stains are inevitable due to constant contact of hijabs with the face and hair. Our commitment is to provide high-quality hijabs that maintain a polished and fresh look wear after wear and wash after wash, Insha’Allah.
