How do I remove barbecue sauce stains from a camisole?

Create a mixture of warm water and white vinegar, soak the stained area, scrub with a soft bristled brush, rinse, and wash the garment as normal.

Can I use regular detergents to remove the stain?

A mild detergent can be added to the pre-mixture, but it should not be used when washing the garment as normal. It may permanently damage the fabric.

Step 1: Create Stain Removal Mixture

Start by creating a mixture of equal parts warm water and white vinegar in a bowl. If the stain is especially stubborn, you can add a half teaspoon of detergent to the solution.

Step 2: Soak Garment for 5-10 minutes

Once you have the mixture ready, soak the stained area of the camisole in it for five to ten minutes. Make sure the stain is completely submerged; this will give the mixture time to break up dried sauce.

Step 3: Scrub with a Soft Bristle Brush

Using a soft bristled brush such as a toothbrush, start scrubbing the stained area in a circular motion. This will help break up the sauce even more and loosen the stain.

Step 4: Rinse and Repeat

Once stain is loosened, rinse the garment and repeat steps two to three if necessary. Be sure not to scrub too hard in order to prevent damaging the fabric.

Step 5: Wash the Garment as Normal

Once the stain is removed, wash the garment as usual with regular detergent. Allow it to air dry on an old towel or hang dry.
