- Dab the affected area with a Q-tip soaked in laundry detergent. Do not rub.
- For dried gravy spots, use a soft-bristle brush to loosen up stain before you continue with the cleaning process.
- Using a damp sponge, dab and lightly rub the stain. Move the sponge in circular motions, using a fraction of pressure you would normally apply.
- Once you’ve dealt with most of stain, rinse the area with cold water and blot dry.
- If there is still some discoloration visible, try using a hairdryer or an iron on a low setting to heat the fabric and remove remaining grease.
