Step One: Blot the Stain

The first step is to blot the stain with a dry towel to absorb as much of the tomato sauce as possible. Do not scrub or rub the stain; it may spread the tomato sauce over a larger area. It is important to work quickly and ensure that the stain does not set.

Step Two: Make a Soapy Solution

Mix one tablespoon of laundry detergent and two cups of cold water in the bowl. Stir until the soap dissolves completely.

Step Three: Apply Soapy Solution

Using a clean towel or paper towels, soak up some of the soapy solution and apply it to the stain. Allow it to sit for about 10 minutes before proceeding.

Step Four: Scrub the Stain

Using the brush, gently scrub the stained area and rinse the cloth or paper towels frequently to remove tomato sauce. It may be necessary to repeat the soapy solution process several times before the stain is completely removed. If the stain still persists, proceed to the next step.

Step Five: Make a Vinegar Solution

Add one tablespoon of vinegar and one cup of warm water to the bowl. Stir until the vinegar is completely dissolved.

Step Six: Apply Vinegar Solution

Using a clean towel or paper towels, soak up some of the vinegar solution and apply it to the stain. Allow it to sit for about five minutes before proceeding.

Step Seven: Scrub Stain

Using the brush, gently scrub stained area and rinse the cloth or paper towels frequently to remove tomato sauce. It may be necessary to repeat the vinegar solution process several times before the stain is completely removed.

Step Eight: Apply Baking Soda

Sprinkle some baking soda on stained area and let it sit for several minutes. Use a clean cloth to remove baking soda and check if the stain is gone. If stain is still visible, repeat the above steps until it is gone.

Step Nine: Rinse and Dry
