Step 1: Identify Stain

The first step in cleaning a salad dressing stain is to identify what type of dressing has caused the stain. Is it oil or vinegar based? Knowing this will help you determine which products and techniques are best for removing the stain.

Step 2: Blot the Stain

With an old towel, blot the stain to soak up any excess salad dressing. Be gentle and avoid rubbing or scrubbing the fabric, as this can cause the stain to set further into the fabric.

Step 3: Create a Cleaning Solution

Mix together liquid laundry detergent, white vinegar and water in equal parts. For example, combine 1 teaspoon of each of ingredients in a small bowl. This will create a cleaning solution for removing the stain.

Step 4: Apply the Cleaning Solution

Dampen a clean cloth with the cleaning solution you made and then gently apply the solution to the stain. Let solution sit for 10-15 minutes before moving on to the next step.

Step 5: Rinse and Clean

Using a cloth dampened with warm water, rinse away the cleaning solution. Once you have rinsed away the solution, apply a few drops of dish soap to stain. Gently rub the soap into stain with a clean cloth and then rinse away soap with water. Be sure to rinse until all traces of the soap have been removed.

Step 6: Dry and Inspect

Once stain has been removed, lay the garment on a towel and let it air dry. Once it has dried, inspect the fabric for any remaining stains. If any stains remain, repeat the steps until the stain is removed.

Conclusion

Salad dressing stains are no match for a little elbow grease and the right combination of cleaning products. With a few simple steps, you can easily remove all traces of stain from your clothing and keep your dashiki looking great.
