Pre-Treat Stain
The first step in removing a salad dressing stain from cotton piqué is to pre-treat the stain. To do this, start by lightly dabbing stained area with a clean wet cloth. Avoid rubbing the stain, as this may cause it to spread. Once the area has been dampened, apply a pre-treater or detergent specifically designed for use on fabrics. Allow pre-treatment to sit on stain for at least five minutes before proceeding with the cleaning process.
Wash the Clothing Item
Once the pre-treatment has been allowed to soak in, it's time to wash the clothing item. Select a washing cycle that is appropriate for the material and add the detergent of your choice. When washing item, use cold or warm water, as hot water may set the stain. After the cycle has completed, check to see if stain has been removed.
Repeat if Necessary
If after first washing cycle stain is still visible, repeat pre-treatment and washing steps. It may take several attempts to completely eliminate the stain, especially if it has been allowed to sit for a prolonged period of time.
Dry the Clothing Item
After the stain has been removed, it's important to dry the clothing item properly. The best way to dry cotton piqué is to line dry it. If using a dryer, select the lowest possible temperature setting.
