1. Soak up the Excess

Before you begin cleaning the stain, take a paper towel or clean cloth and soak up as much of the excess gravy as possible. Do not rub; just gently blot the area.

2. Dampen a Clean Cloth with Water

Dampen a white cloth with warm water and wring out until it is just slightly damp. Do not use too much water, as this could result in water damage to the appliance.

3. Pre-Treat the Stain

If the stain is particularly stubborn, you could pre-treat it with a laundry prewash spray or a bit of liquid dish soap. Do not use bleach on your appliances.

4. Wipe the Area

Using the slightly damp cloth, wipe the stain in a gentle circular motion. Start at the outer edges and work your way inward. Do not scrub too hard as you may cause damage to the finish.

5. Rinse with Clean Water

Rinse the area with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. This will help to remove any residue that may have been left behind.

6. Repeat as Needed

Depending on the severity of the stain, you may need to repeat steps 4-6 several times. Be patient – it may take several attempts to completely remove the stain.

7. Finish with a Polish

Once stain has been removed, polish the area with appliance-specific polishing products. This will help to restore shine and protect surface from future staining.
