Step 1: Blot Up Gravy
The first step you should take in cleaning gravy stains from your tracksuit is to blot up as much of the gravy as you can. Use a dry, white cloth to absorb as much of the grease as possible, and continue blotting until no more can be absorbed.
Step 2: Pretreat with a Detergent
Once the gravy has been absorbed and removed, it's time to begin pretreating the stain. You'll want to use a detergent that is specifically designed to remove grease and oil-based stains. Place a few drops of the detergent onto the stain and let it sit for a few minutes to allow it to penetrate the fabric.
Step 3: Rinse Out the Detergent
Once the detergent has set, rinse out fabric by running it under cold water. Be sure to rinse it until all of the detergent has been removed.
Step 4: Wash the Tracksuit
Now that the gravy and detergent have been removed, it's time to wash the tracksuit. Put the tracksuit in the washing machine with a mild detergent, and wash it on a delicate cycle in cold water. Once the cycle has finished, hang tracksuit to air-dry.
Step 5: Repeat if Necessary
If after following the steps above, the gravy stain still remains, you may need to repeat the process. Try using a stain remover or an oxygen-based cleaner to lift the stain, and follow same steps above. After the stain has been removed, you'll want to run the tracksuit through the washing machine again to ensure that all of cleaner has been removed.
