Gravy stains can be particularly pesky to remove, but with these simple steps you'll have a gravy-free t-shirt in no time! Here's how you do it:
Step 1: Pre-Treat Stain
Before you throw t-shirt in the washing machine, you need to apply pre-treatment to the stain. Choose an enzyme-based pre-treatment that is designed to break down and lift out tough stains. Make sure to read the instructions on the bottle before applying.
Step 2: Soak Garment
Once you've applied the pre-treatment, you should soak the t-shirt in warm soapy water for 30-60 minutes. This will allow the enzymes from the pre-treatment to do their work and break down the stain. You can either hand-wash the shirt or put it in the washing machine on a light cycle for the soaking process.
Step 3: Wash the Garment
Finally, you need to wash the t-shirt using warm water and your regular laundry detergent. The temperature of the water is important, as cold water may not be effective in breaking down the stain. Once wash cycle is complete, make sure to check the t-shirt to ensure the stain has been removed. If the stain is still visible, repeat steps 1 and 2, then try again.
Conclusion
With these 3 simple steps, getting rid of gravy stains on t-shirts is easy. Pre-treat the stain, soak the garment, then wash. With a little bit of effort, you'll have gravy-free garments in no time!
