Pre-Treating the Stain

Start by blotting the stained area with a dry cloth or paper towel to remove as much of the salad dressing as possible. If it's a really greasy stain, pre-treat it with a little bit of dish soap and warm water. Submerge the stained area in warm soapy water and let it sit for 10-15 minutes. This will help break down oils and begin to loosen stain.

How to Remove the Grease Stain

Once you have pre-treated area, gently dab the stain with a damp cloth or a soft bristle brush using a circular motion. Make sure you don’t scrub too hard or you may damage the material. Follow up with a solution of one part white vinegar and three parts cold water to help get rid of any remaining residue. Rinse the soil lift with cold water and then blot with a dry cloth until the stain is gone.

Additional Tips

When applying the vinegar solution, make sure you don’t pour it directly onto the stain. Instead, apply it to the cloth before blotting it on the stain to avoid spreading it further.
If the stain persists, try treating it with a liquid detergent solution instead of vinegar.
Always spot test the cleaning solution on a hidden part of the blazer to make sure it won’t discolor the fabric.
To prevent the stain from setting, work quickly and never rub the fabric.

Conclusion

Removing salad dressing stains from your blazer doesn’t have to be hard. By following these simple steps, you can easily remove the offending stain and have your blazer looking as good as new!
