Instructions to Clean Gravy Stains from Fleece
- Check tags on your fleece to make sure it's washable. If it is not, spot cleaning is the only option for removing stains.
- Use a spoon or spatula to scrape off any excess gravy from the fabric.
- Dampen the stained area with lukewarm water, then sponge the area with a mild liquid detergent and lukewarm water.
- Gently work soapy mixture into the fabric using a soft cloth and blot area until the stain is gone.
- Rinse area with lukewarm water and repeat if the stain is still visible.
- When the stain is gone, rinse area again with cold water to remove any soap residue.
- Allow fabric to air dry.
Tips for Taking Care of Your Fleece
- Always check the care instructions on your fleece before washing or spot cleaning it.
- If the care instructions call for machine washing, use the gentle cycle and a mild detergent.
- If the care instructions suggest dry cleaning only, be sure to take the garment to a professional cleaner.
- Don’t use bleach or other harsh chemicals on your fleece, as this can cause fading and damage the fabric.
- Lay your fleece flat to air dry instead of putting it in the dryer to avoid shrinkage.
