Steps for Removing Tomato Sauce Stains

  1. Begin by gently blotting the tomato sauce stain with a clean, dry cloth or paper towel to remove as much of the excess sauce as possible.
  2. Mix a solution of one teaspoon of liquid detergent and two cups of cold water. Dip a sponge or soft brush into detergent solution and gently rub it onto the tomato sauce stain.
  3. Rinse the area with cold water and again use a dry cloth or paper towel to remove any remaining moisture.
  4. Apply a few drops of rubbing alcohol directly onto the stain and allow it to soak in for 10-15 minutes.
  5. If the stain is still visible, mix 1 tablespoon of white vinegar with 2 cups of lukewarm water and pour it onto the stain. Gently rub the mixture into fabric.
  6. Rinse the area thoroughly with cold water and then transfer the dress to the washing machine with other items of like color.
  7. Use the normal cycle and a mild detergent to finish cleaning the dress.
  8. Hang or lay the dress flat to air-dry.

Tips for Treating Tomato Sauce Stains

  • Always use cold water when treating a tomato sauce stain, as hot water can make the stain set in.
  • If the stain is still visible after washing the dress, repeat Steps 2-6 until the spot is gone.
  • Avoid using bleach on tomato sauce stains as this may cause discoloration.
  • Always check the manufacturer's tag for care instructions before attempting to treat stain.
