Whether you're at a summer cookout or trying out your own culinary skills, there's nothing worse than getting barbecue sauce on your clothing. But don't panic - removing BBQ sauce from a bodycon dress is possible, and with a few simple steps it's surprisingly easy.

Removing BBQ Sauce From a Bodycon Dress

  • With a paper towel or cloth, blot up as much of stain as you can. Don't rub it in – this will only spread stain.
  • Mix a solution of lukewarm water and a small amount of dishwashing liquid. Test solution on an inconspicuous area of the dress before applying it to the stain.
  • Using another paper towel or clean cloth, apply solution to stained area and leave for a few minutes.
  • Rinse the area thoroughly with warm water.
  • If the stain remains, repeat the above steps.

It's important to keep in mind that different fabrics require different cleaning methods. It's important to remember that bleach, boiling water, or high temperatures may damage delicate materials like spandex, so always test the solution on a discrete area first.

If stain is still visible and won't come out with normal treatment, take your dress to a professional dry cleaner. They should be able to tell you what kind of fabric it is and offer suitable advice.

Preventing BBQ Sauce Stains in the Future

Barbecue sauce usually contains tomatoe and sugar, both of which can cause difficult stains. To reduce the risk of having to deal with stains in the future, you can use an apron or grease-proof tablecloth while cooking. You can also cover any exposed areas of clothing with a spare cloth.

Wash your hands after handling food, and if you do get barbecue sauce on your bodycon dress, act quickly! The sooner you start cleaning, the better your chances of success.
