The first thing you need to do is blot the stain immediately using a clean towel or paper towels. Use cold water to make sure the stain doesn't spread further.
Once you have blotted the stain, create a mixture of lukewarm water and a few drops of dishwashing liquid. Using a gentle sponge, dab the solution onto the stain until the area is completely saturated. Let the soap sit for a few minutes before rinsing it away with cold water.
For extra stubborn stains, mix equal parts white vinegar and cold water in a bowl. Soak a sponge in the solution and dab it over the affected area. Let vinegar sit on stain for a few minutes before rinsing it away with cold water.
Finally, use a towel to gently dry the spot. Don't rub or scrub the fabric, as this can cause the stain to spread even further!
Getting gravy stains out of a sari doesn't have to be daunting! With these simple cleansing steps, your sari will be looking good as new in no time.
