Step 1: Scrape off Any Excess Gravy

Begin by scraping off as much gravy as possible with a dull knife or spoon. Be careful not to push the gravy deeper into the fabric.

Step 2: Mix a Stain Removal Solution

In a bowl, mix one teaspoon of laundry detergent with two cups of warm water. Use a spoon to vigorously stir this mixture.

Step 3: Soak the Midi Dress in the Stain Removal Solution

Submerge your stained midi dress in the stain removal solution and let sit for about 30 minutes. If necessary, use a small degree of scrubbing with an old toothbrush to help loosen the stain.

Step 4: Rinse and Wash Midi Dress

Once the garment is done sitting in the stain removal solution, rinse it with cold water. Then, put the midi dress in the washing machine and wash on a normal cycle with cold water.

Step 5: Air Dry or Tumble Dry the Midi Dress

Once your midi dress is washed, hang it up to air dry, or if you’re in a hurry you can tumble dry garment on low heat.

Step 6: Check the Midi Dress for Stains

Finally, check the midi dress for stains. If there are still traces of gravy, repeat previous steps until it’s completely gone.
