One of the hardest fabrics to clean mayonnaise out of is a sarong. Sarongs are often made of cotton or rayon, so they all easily absorb mayo into their fibers. Tanning and staining can occur if mayo is left on the fabric too long. Fortunately, there are easy ways to get rid of mayonnaise stains from your sarong without too much hassle.
Steps for Cleaning Mayonnaise Stains
- Blot mayonnaise stain with a paper towel or cloth. This will help absorb as much of the mayonnaise as possible.
- Mix 1/2 cup of water with 1/2 cup of white vinegar in a bowl. Dip a sponge into mixture and wring out any excess liquid.
- Gently scrub the stain using the damp sponge. You should start seeing stain come out immediately.
- Using a damp cloth, dab the stained area with cold water to help rinse away the vinegar solution.
- Lay the sarong flat and let it air dry. It won’t take too long for the fabric to completely dry.
If stain is still present after the cleaning process, you can give it an extra boost by adding a few drops of laundry detergent into the vinegar and water mixture. Rubbing the detergent in gently with your fingers can help lift the stain even more.
It’s also important to remember to never use hot water or a hot iron on the fabric when trying to remove the stain. This can just make the stain worse and create permanent damage to the sarong.
Conclusion
Mayonnaise stains can be difficult to get out of fabrics like sarong, but using a mixture of white vinegar and water can be an easy and effective way to remove them. Remember to always blot the stain first, and use cold water to rinse away vinegar and detergent.
