The Do's and Don'ts of Removing a Gravy Stain from a Crop Top

When it comes to cleaning a gravy stain from a crop top, these are the most important rules:

  • Do: Act quickly! The sooner you take care of a gravy stain, the easier it will be to remove.
  • Don't: Rub or scrub at the stain. This will only spread stain further, making it more difficult to remove.
  • Do: Test your cleaning method on a hidden spot first. This is especially important if you're using a chemical cleaner like bleach
  • Don't: Wash the garment in hot water. This will only make the stain set-in further.

Step-by-Step Guide for Cleaning a Gravy Stain from a Crop Top

  1. Blot the stain with a damp cloth or paper towel. Do not rub, but instead press firmly against the fabric and let the cloth or paper absorb as much of the stain as possible.
  2. Rinse the stain with cold water. Cold water is better at removing stains than hot water, so be sure to use it instead.
  3. Apply a laundry detergent or pre-treatment product to the stain. Laundry detergent is good for removing grease stains, while pre-treatment products are specifically designed to tackle tough stains.
  4. Soak the garment for at least 30 minutes, then wash as per instructions on the care label. This will help to get rid of the stain completely.
  5. If the stain still won't come out, repeat steps 1-4.
  6. Once the stain is gone, air dry or tumble dry the garment on low heat.
