Before washing the spot, you should always pre-treat it with a stain remover specifically formulated for tough and oily stains (like those from a BBQ sauce). Spray the stain remover directly onto the affected area, and let it sit for 5-10 minutes before moving on to the next step.
Once the stain remover has had time to work its magic, you can wash the fabric in cold water. Although washing with hot water can be more effective in removing stubborn stains, using hot water can cause the stain to spread and set into fibers of seersucker fabric. So it’s best to stick with cold water.
When adding detergent to your load, opt for something gentle that won’t damage the fabric. Additionally, if BBQ sauce stain is particularly tenacious, you can try using a bit of white distilled vinegar or baking soda in the wash to help lift stain.
Once the fabric is clean, consider using a fabric protector spray to repel any future stains. This will not only help protect against further staining, but it will also help keep the fabric looking clean and bright for years to come.
