The first step to effectively clean the salad dressing stain on your hoodie is to blot up any excess liquid. Place an absorbent paper towel or cloth over affected area and press gently to soak up the spilled dressing. Avoid rubbing the towel or cloth back and forth as this can easily spread the stain further.
Once the excess salad dressing has been blotted up, prepare a mild detergent solution with warm water. Use a spoon to mix the detergent and water together until it forms a consistent paste-like texture. You may also use a store-bought stain remover designed for removing food stains.
Apply soap solution to the stained area using a soft-bristled brush or cloth. Gently rub into the fabric using a circular motion as you slowly spread the solution outward in order to fully cover the stain. Allow the soap solution to sit for a few minutes before proceeding to the next step.
After the soap solution has been applied and has had time to soak into the fabric, rinse it off with cool water. To remove any excess soap solution, use a wet cloth and gently dab the area. Be careful not to scrub too hard or use hot water as this can damage the fabric.
Let the hoodie air dry naturally rather than using heat from a dryer. If stain does not completely disappear after drying, repeat steps one through four until the stain is gone.
