What You'll Need
- Baking soda
- Dish soap
- White vinegar
- Scrub brush
- Vacuum
Step 1: Blot Fresh Stains with a Dry Cloth
If you're fortunate enough to catch the stain before it has set, blot the area with a dry cloth or paper towel to absorb as much of the gravy as possible. Avoid rubbing the stain, as this will only spread it further.
Step 2: Make a Baking Soda Paste
Mix baking soda and water in a bowl to create a thick paste. This paste is an effective way to draw out moisture and help lift stain.
Step 3: Apply Baking Soda Paste
Apply the paste directly to the affected area using a circular motion. Allow the paste to sit for 10-15 minutes before brushing off in the same direction. Vacuum any residual baking soda.
Step 4: Soak Up with Soap and Vinegar
Next, mix equal parts warm water and dish soap in a bowl. Dip your scrub brush into the mixture and gently scrub the stain. Then switch to a cloth soaked with white vinegar. The vinegar should help to pull the stain out of the fabric.
Step 5: Rinse with Water and Towel Dry
Rinse the stained area with clean warm water and pat dry with a towel. Allow the area to air dry fully before continuing.
