The first thing you should do is act fast. As soon as you notice the BBQ sauce stain, make sure to immediately dampen the area with cold water. If possible, try to rinse the area from the backside of the cardigan so that stain doesn’t spread further.
When the area is dampened, use a paper towel or a clean cloth to blot area gently. If the stain wasn't too bad to begin with, this may be enough to remove it. If not, you can move on to step two.
Step two involves making a paste from a few ingredients you probably already have in your home. All you need is some detergent, baking soda, and white vinegar. Mix these together until it makes a paste-like substance. Once complete, spread it over the stained area and let it sit for 10-15 minutes. Then you can rinse off the paste with cold water and then retake step one to ensure all the paste is removed.
If the stain persists, there is one final solution you can try. Spray some hydrogen peroxide onto the affected area. Let it sit for about 10 minutes and then blot the area with a clean cloth. After that, rinse the area with cool water and move on to step one to finish up.
By following these three simple steps, you should be able to eliminate BBQ sauce stains from your cardigan with minimal effort. Good luck and happy cleaning!
