Step One: Scrape off Excess Gravy

Use a blunt object to gently scrape off any excess gravy from the fabric. Take care not to press too hard so as to avoid damaging the fabric.

Step Two: Soak & Pre-Treat

Create a solution of ¼ cup white vinegar and two cups warm water and soak the stained lingerie for 30 minutes. After soaking, use a stain remover or detergent to pre-treat the area by lightly rubbing it in with your fingers.

Step Three: Wash & Rinse

Wash lingerie in washer according to the care instructions on the tag. Use the hottest water setting that is safe for the fabric. For an extra boost, add a tablespoon of detergent to the pre-treatment solution before washing.

Step Four: Air Dry

Air-dry lingerie on a clothesline or drying rack. Sun exposure may help to fade the stain, but avoid leaving the lingerie in the sun too long as this can cause fading.

Step Five: Repeat as Needed

If the stain persists following the above steps, repeat the process until the stain has been completely removed.
