The Ultimate Guide to Removing Gravy Stains from Kimonos

Gravy stains can be embarrassing and unsightly, especially when they appear on your favorite kimono. Fortunately, there are a few simple steps you can take to remove them quickly and easily.

Getting gravy stains out of a kimono can require some extra effort and attention. The best way to remove gravy stains is to treat the stain as soon as possible—hold the stained area against hot water for about 10-15 minutes, followed by rubbing liquid detergent directly into the stain. Once the detergent has been rubbed into stain, rinse the garment in cool water and then put it in washing machine. For more stubborn stains, use an enzymatic cleaner made specifically for stain removal. Apply the cleaner to the stain and rub it into the fabric with a soft brush. Rinse after a few minutes and dry it according to the garment's care instructions.

If you don't have time to wash garment right away, you can try spot-cleaning the stain with a damp cloth, which can be effective if done soon after the accident. Then, when you do have the time to do a full wash, dampen stain again and run it through a full cycle in washing machine with a mild detergent. Don't forget to use cool water to reduce any risk of setting the stain further. If the stain is still visible after final drying cycle, you can try applying a solution of vinegar and water (one part vinegar to two parts water) to stain. Finally, launder the garment as you normally would.

Gravy stains can be annoying to deal with, but with proper care and attention, they can be removed quickly and easily. Follow these steps to get rid of even the most stubborn gravy stains and keep your kimonos looking their best!
