Steps For Removing Salad Dressing Stains From Abayas

  1. Before attempting any stain removal, it’s important that you read the care labels on your abaya. Some fabrics may not be suitable for stain removal and they may require special handling. If in doubt, take it to the dry cleaner.
  2. The best way to remove salad dressing stains is to act quickly. The sooner you start the process, the better the chances are that you will be successful.
  3. Begin by blotting the area with a cloth or paper towels to absorb as much of the excess salad dressing as possible.
  4. In a small bowl, mix together 1 teaspoon of liquid dish soap and 1 cup of lukewarm water. Dip a clean cloth into the solution and press the fabric together to work the soap in.
  5. The next step is to rinse area with cold water. This will help make sure all of the soap residue is removed.
  6. If the stain remains, you can try soaking the garment in a solution of 2 tablespoons of white vinegar and 1/2 cup of water for 30 minutes.
  7. Once the stained area has been soaked, rinse it again with cold water and then wash the abaya in the washing machine according to the care instructions.
  8. When the abaya is finished washing, inspect the area to make sure the stain is gone. If not, repeat the steps above until stain is removed.

Tips For Preventing Salad Dressing Stains on an Abaya

  • Avoid wearing your abaya while eating salad or any other messy foods.
  • If you must wear your abaya while eating, put a napkin or cloth around your neck to catch any errant food.
  • If a spill does occur, do not rub or scrub the area. Blot it with a paper towel or cloth and then follow the steps above for removal.
