Steps for Removing a Mayonnaise Stain from Your Pajamas

  1. Check for instructions on the pajama label. Some fabrics may require special or delicate cleaning processes. Follow the instructions listed on the tag to avoid damaging the clothing.
  2. Begin by gently blotting with a paper towel or old cloth, working from outside of the stain inward. Do not rub or scrub the material.
  3. If there is any solid mayonnaise still visible, scrape it off with a dull knife or spoon.
  4. Pour some liquid detergent onto stained area and work it into the fabric with your fingers.
  5. Rinse affected area with cold water. This will help lift away some of the stain.
  6. Repeat steps 3-5 until stain is gone.
  7. If necessary, make a paste with baking soda and water and gently rub it over the mayonnaise stain. Let the paste sit on the stain for 10 minutes before rinsing it away.
  8. Check affected area for any remaining stains. If necessary, cover the stain with a few drops of white vinegar or a few spritzes of lemon juice.
  9. Allow the vinegar or lemon juice to sit for a few minutes before adding a few drops of dish soap. Work soap into the fabric with your fingertips.
  10. Rinse with cold water again, working from the outside of the stain toward the center.
  11. Dab the area with a dry cloth and allow it to air dry.
