Step 1: Prepare Area

First, lay your sleepwear flat so that it is spread out as much as possible. Make sure to blot or scrape away as much of the dressing as possible before proceeding to the next step.

Step 2: Pre-Treat the Stain

Once you’ve removed as much of the dressing as possible, rub a small amount of liquid laundry detergent into the stained area. Do not add any water just yet. Let the detergent sit for 10-15 minutes, then scrub the area gently with a toothbrush.

Step 3: Rinse the Stain

Rinse the area with lukewarm water, using a cloth or sponge to help remove the detergent and any remaining dressing residue.

Step 4: Launder

Wash the sleepwear with cold water on a delicate cycle, and wear the item according to the laundering instructions on the clothing label. Once the item has been washed, air dry or machine dry on a low heat setting.

Follow These Tips

To prevent and remove salad dressing stains from sleepwear, always do a spot check on the fabric before laundering and follow the instructions on the label.

If you have any questions about removing salad dressing stains from sleepwear, consult a professional dry cleaner.
