Step 1: Act Quickly

Gravy and other fatty foods can be difficult to remove once they’ve dried. So as soon as you notice the stain, blot area with a damp cloth or paper towel. This will help absorb most of the liquid from the fabric.

Step 2: Pre-treat the Stain

Mix some laundry detergent with warm water and use this solution to pre-treat stained area. You can use an old toothbrush or any soft-bristle brush to rub the detergent into fabric fibers, working from the outside of stain inwards.

Step 3: Rinse and Wash

Rinse the affected area with clean water and then launder pongee fabric as usual. Do not put it in a dryer until you are sure that the stain is completely gone. You can check this by holding it up to the light before drying.

Step 4: Repeat as Necessary

If the stain persists after washing, repeat steps 1-3 until the fabric looks clean. If you’re still having trouble removing the stain, try mixing baking soda with white distilled vinegar and rubbing this paste onto the fabric before washing.
