What You'll Need
- Spray Bottle
- White Vinegar
- Mild Detergent
- Soft Cloth
- Toothbrush
- Stain Remover
Step 1: Blot the Stain
Start by blotting up as much of the gravy as possible with a soft cloth to prevent the stain from spreading. Do not rub the cloth against stain as this will only push the stain further into the fabric.
Step 2: Make a Cleaning Solution
Mix one tablespoon of white vinegar and one teaspoon of mild detergent in a spray bottle filled with lukewarm water. Shake the bottle until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Step 3: Spray the Stain
Spray the solution onto the stained area and let it sit for 10-15 minutes before wiping the area clean with a damp cloth.
Step 4: Scrub the Stain
If the stain persists, use a toothbrush to gently scrub the stained area in a circular motion. Rinse the area with lukewarm water and repeat as necessary.
Step 5: Apply Stain Remover
If the stain is still visible, apply a commercial stain remover to the area and let it sit for 15 minutes before rinsing. Repeat if necessary.
Step 6: Air Dry
Once the stain has been removed, hang pumps up in a ventilated area and allow them to air dry.
Conclusion
Cleaning gravy stains off your pumps doesn't have to be a challenge. All you need are the right cleaning products and some elbow grease! Just follow the steps above and you should be able to remove the stain in no time.
