Instructions

  1. Soak up as much excess mayonnaise as you can using an absorbent paper towel. Work from the outside in so that the stain doesn’t spread.
  2. Apply a small amount of liquid detergent directly to stain. Use a soft brush to work the detergent in from edges of the stain toward the center.
  3. Rinse affected area of the clothing with cold water until the detergent is washed away.
  4. Create a mixture of white vinegar and lukewarm water. Soak stained area of clothing in this solution for 1 hour.
  5. Wash clothing in the washing machine as normal. Afterwards, check to ensure the mayonnaise stain has been successfully removed.

Things to Consider

  • Always use cold water when cleaning mayonnaise stains from cotton twill clothing. This helps prevent the stain from seeping further into the fabric.
  • Hot water or harsh scrubbing can set the stain deeper into the fabric, so try to avoid these methods.
  • If the stain persists even after following the cleaning steps outlined above, try using spot treatment or liquid laundry detergent specifically designed for removing tough stains.
  • Be sure to refer to the garment’s care label before applying any stain removal products, as certain fabrics may be damaged by harsh chemicals.
