One of worst parts of hosting a dinner party is when someone accidentally spills their food on your clothes. If you’ve got a gravy stain on your shift dress, don’t despair — there are several simple steps you can take to get rid of it.
Before you attempt to clean the stain, make sure your dress can be safely washed in a machine. If it can’t, this method won’t work and you’ll have to take it to a professional cleaner.
Once you have confirmed that your dress is machine washable, you can move onto pre-treating the stain. For best results, use a heavy-duty stain remover. Apply it liberally to the stain and then set it aside for 10-15 minutes.
Once you’ve pre-treated the stain, you can add the dress to your washing machine. Make sure to set the water temperature to cold and the spin cycle to delicate. Choose a detergent that is designed for washing delicates and add it to the machine. Let the dress go through the full cycle and then hang it up to dry.
You don’t have to throw away your shift dress if it gets stained with gravy! With these three simple steps, you can easily clean the stain and keep your dress looking like new.
