Step 1: Act Quickly

The earlier you act when it comes to removing barbecue sauce stains from your blazer, the better your chances of success. Try to treat the stain as soon as you can after it appears. Letting the stain sit for too long could cause it to become set into the fabric.

Step 2: Rinse with Cold Water

Start by removing any excess sauce from blazer using a spoon or butter knife. Then, rinse the stained area with cold water. Make sure not to scrub or rub the stain, as this will cause it to spread and become more difficult to remove.

Step 3: Pretreat with Shampoo or Laundry Detergent

Next, you’ll need to pretreat stain by applying a generous amount of mild shampoo or laundry detergent to the area. Let the shampoo or detergent sit for at least 30 minutes before rinsing thoroughly with warm water.

Step 4: Spot Clean the Stain

Once you’ve pre-treated the stain with shampoo or laundry detergent, you can move on to spot-cleaning. Start by moistening the area with a clean cloth and a small amount of water. Next, apply a little dish soap to the stained area and gently rub, starting from the outside and working your way in. Rinse thoroughly with water to remove any remaining soap residue.

Step 5: Repeat as Necessary

If the stain is still present after spot-cleaning, you may need to repeat the process a few times before it is completely removed. If stain fails to respond after several attempts, it may be best to take your blazer to a professional cleaner to prevent further damage.
