What You'll Need:

  • Baking soda
  • A cotton cloth or sponge
  • Liquid dish soap

Instructions:

  1. Mix 1 tablespoon of baking soda with 2 tablespoons of liquid dish soap and 1 cup of warm water.
  2. Soak a cotton cloth or sponge in mixture and wring it out until it's only damp.
  3. Gently rub the area of the denim that has been stained by the mayonnaise.
  4. Continue rubbing in the same circular motion until you've removed as much of the mayonnaise as possible.
  5. Alternatively, if the stain is stubborn, pour 1 cup of white vinegar directly onto the stain to help loosen it. Let it sit for 5 minutes before rubbing it again with the damp cloth.
  6. Once the stain is removed, rinse the area with cold water and let it air dry.

Additional Tips:

  • If you notice any discoloration on denim, use a laundry pre-treatment to help lighten it up.
  • When pre-treating, be sure to follow the instructions on the product's label for best results.
  • Clean a small test area first before applying the pre-treatment to an entire garment.
