Removing Wet Gravy Stains
If you've just spilled gravy on your purse and it's still wet, first blot up as much of the sauce as you can with a paper towel or a clean cloth. Then, grab a cotton ball and some rubbing alcohol. Dab the soaked cotton ball on the stain, then gently rub the area in a circular motion until the stain starts to lift. Finally, rinse the area with warm water, and dry off with a towel.
Getting Out Old Gravy Stains
For older gravy stains that have had time to set, try blending cream of tartar and water into a paste. Spread the mixture over the stain and let it sit for an hour or two before wiping down the area with a damp cloth. If the stain is still visible, repeat the process until the stain is gone.
Using Other Products To Remove Gravy Stains
If the above techniques don't work, there are several commercial products that can help. Nail polish remover, hydrogen peroxide, and bleach-based cleaners can be effective at removing stubborn gravy stains. However, because these products are strong, make sure to read the directions and use them sparingly in order to avoid causing further damage to your purse.
Conclusion
Gravy stains can be difficult to remove, but with right technique and right products you can have your purse looking like new again in no time!
