If the gravy stain is still wet, blot it with an absorbent cloth or paper towel. This will help remove any excess liquid. Then, use a clean sponge or cloth to dab at the stain with cold water, being careful not to spread it out further. When the water doesn’t get rid of the stain completely, try applying a few drops of white vinegar directly onto the stain. If that doesn’t work, a mild laundry detergent mixed with water can do the trick.
For old stains that have been set in the material, start by rubbing area with a damp cloth to loosen any residue. Then, apply a generous amount of stain remover to the belt and let it sit for about an hour before gently scrubbing away the stain with a brush. After wiping away any leftover solution, use a dry cloth to dab away any excess moisture.
If you’d like to avoid any further staining disasters, consider spraying your belts with a fabric protector. This will create a barrier between the belt and any potential spills, making it much easier to blot away messes before they can settle in.
