Baseball uniforms are bound to get dirty, especially with tough stains like grass, dirt, and pine tar. But don’t worry—there’s an effective way to get those stubborn stains out! I personally use Clubhouse Bolt Pine Tar Remover, and in this blog, I’ll walk you through my method to get your baseball uniforms looking fresh and clean.
What You’ll Need:
Clubhouse Bolt Pine Tar Remover
Gloves
Brush (a small scrub brush or toothbrush works great)
Oxiclean (or another stain-fighting laundry booster)
Washing machine
Open space with good ventilation (or a mask if working indoors)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Prep the Area and Protect Your Hands
First, find an open space with good ventilation—this product can be strong, so if you’re indoors, it’s best to wear a mask. Put on gloves to protect your hands from the chemicals in the pine tar remover.
2. Apply the Pine Tar Remover
Spray Clubhouse Bolt Pine Tar Remover directly onto the stained areas of the uniform. Make sure to thoroughly coat the stain for maximum effectiveness.
3. Scrub the Stains
Once the product is applied, use a brush (I like to use a small scrub brush or even an old toothbrush) to gently scrub the stained areas. This helps break up the stains before soaking.
4. Soak for at Least 2 Hours
Let the uniform sit for a minimum of two hours to allow the remover to fully penetrate and lift the stains. Be patient—this step is key to loosening tough grime like pine tar.
5. Pre-Soak in Oxiclean
After the initial soak, place the uniform in the washing machine. Add Oxiclean or another stain-fighting laundry booster to the soak cycle to help lift any remaining residue. This will give the fabric an extra deep clean.
6. Regular Wash and Air Dry
Once pre-soaking is done, run the uniform through a regular wash cycle. Instead of putting the uniform in the dryer, air dry the shirts and pants. Heat can set any stains that may not have come out completely.
With these steps, your baseball uniform will look nearly brand new, and those tough stains will be a thing of the past! The combination of Clubhouse Bolt Pine Tar Remover and a good soak in Oxiclean has never let me down.
Tip: Be sure to check for stains before putting your uniform in the dryer, as the heat may make any remaining stains harder to remove.
