Removing a gravy stain from your mattress isn't as hard as it may seem. To get the job done, you'll need right materials and a few simple steps.

Step 1: Blot the Stain

The first step in getting rid of a gravy stain is to blot the area with a clean cloth or paper towel. This will help absorb some of the liquid and prevent it from spreading into mattress.

Step 2: Apply a Cleaner

Once you've blotted up as much liquid as possible, it's time to apply a cleaner. You can use a store-bought product, or make your own solution by mixing equal parts white vinegar and water.

Apply a generous amount of the cleaner to the stained area and let it sit for 15 minutes. This will give it enough time to break down the stain and loosened it up.

Step 3: Scrub Stain

Once the cleaner has had a chance to work its magic, it's time to start scrubbing. Use a soft brush or sponge to gently scrub the area in small circles. You want to apply enough pressure to loosen up the stain, but not too much that you risk damaging the fabric.

Step 4: Rinse Area

Once you're finished scrubbing, rinse area with cold water. Make sure to use plenty of water to ensure all the cleaner and residue are washed away.

Step 5: Dry the Area

Finally, dry the area with a clean towel or cloth. If needed, you can even put the mattress in the sun or blast it with a hair dryer to help speed up the process.

Follow these steps and you should be able to get gravy stains out of your mattress with ease!
