Step 1: Blot the Stain

Start by blotting as much of the gravy from the fabric as possible using a clean absorbent cloth or paper towel. Avoid rubbing the stain, as this can cause it to spread and make it harder to remove.

Step 2: Pretreat with Detergent

Mix a tablespoon of laundry detergent with two cups of warm water. Apply mixture to the stain and let it sit for ten minutes. Gently agitate fabric with your fingers or a soft brush, then rinse it with cool water.

Step 3: Launder as Usual

Wash the pajamas according to the instructions on the care label. For best results, use cold water and gentle cycle.

Step 4: Dry the Pajamas

Dry the pajamas in the dryer on low heat. Inspect the fabric after cycle is finished to make sure all the gravy has been removed.

Additional Tips

If the stain persists after laundering, repeat steps 2-4.
For tough stains, pretreat with a stain remover such as Spray 'n Wash.
After washing, add a scoop of distilled white vinegar to the rinse cycle to help keep colors bright.
