How to remove modelling clay stains

When getting creative with modelling clay, it’s not the plan to get it on your clothes. When it comes to modelling clay stain removal, it’s important to understand the components of the stain itself. Modelling clay compounds come in two varieties, one that air dries and one that stays moist. The former can be simply brushed off, but the latter can work itself into the fabric fibres and requires further treatment. If your modelling clay has oils in it to prevent the clay from drying out, then you’ll want to use a washing detergent, like Ariel, that removes the oily components and also uses bleaching agents to remove the colour marks. Follow our Ariel stain solutions to remove modelling clay stains from clothes.
