Removing Barbecue Sauce Stains
- First, scrape any excess sauce off the skirt as soon as possible using a blunt knife or spoon.
- Next, rinse stained area with cold water to help remove more of the sauce.
- Apply a laundry pre-wash solution to the stain. You can also try using a bit of dish detergent or a common stain remover such as Shout.
- Allow the pre-wash solution to sit and penetrate the stain for a few minutes.
- Use a clean rag or sponge to rub the stained area gently in a circular motion.
- Rinse skirt thoroughly with cold water.
- If the stain is still present, apply a spot of white vinegar to the area and allow it to sit for up to 20 minutes.
- Rinse the vinegar away with cold water, then immediately launder skirt as per its care instructions.
