Step 1: Blot the Affected Area

Using a clean, white cloth or paper towel, blot the gravy stain to absorb as much of the gravy as possible. This will help to reduce the amount of gravy that needs to be removed.

Step 2: Pre-treat the Stain with Stain Remover

Choose a good quality, grease-cutting stain remover and apply it directly to the affected area. Allow the remover to work for about 10 minutes before proceeding to the next step.

Step 3: Rinse Stain in Cool Water

Rinse the stained area with cool water and continue to blot area with a clean, dry cloth or paper towel to remove as much gravy as possible.

Step 4: Soak the Stain in a Solution

Mix together a solution of lukewarm water and a few drops of gentle detergent or liquid soap. Soak the affected area in this solution for 15 minutes. Afterward, rinse the area with cool water and check to see if the stain has been removed.

Step 5: Repeat Until the Stain is Removed

If the stain has not been completely removed, repeat process until the stain is gone. If the stain still persists, try soaking fabric in a mixture of one tablespoon of baking soda and two cups of water. Leave fabric to soak for 30 minutes before rinsing with lukewarm water.

Step 6: Wash the Abaya

Once the stain has been completely removed, wash abaya according to care instructions on the label. Air-dry the garment and it should be good as new!
