When a gravy stain lands on your coat, it can be hard to know where to start. It’s important to act fast, as the longer a stain sits, the harder it is to remove. Here’s how to clean up those gravy stains in a few simple steps.
Step 1: Blot Up Any Excess Gravy
The key to getting a gravy stain out is to act quickly. As soon as you realize a mistake has been made, blot away any excess liquid with a clean, dry cloth. If there is still a bit of liquid left, it’s okay to dab it with a damp cloth.
Step 2: Pre-Treat With Soap and Water
Mix up a solution of white vinegar and water and gently dab the stained area—this will help to break up the stain. Then take a drop of dish soap and some cold water and mix them together. Use a soft toothbrush to lightly scrub the stained area with this mixture, making sure not to use too much pressure.
Step 3: Wash in the Washing Machine
Once pre-treating is complete, toss the coat in the washing machine—make sure to set washer for cold to avoid setting the stain. Add a scoop of laundry detergent to machine and allow the cycle to finish its cycle.
Step 4: Repeat if Necessary
Once the wash cycle is complete, check the coat to see if any of the stain remains. If so, repeat steps 1-3 until the stain is gone or barely visible.
