Step 1: Remove Excess Sauce from the Swimsuit

As soon as you see the stain, use a spoon or dull knife to scrape away any excess tomato sauce that is on the surface of the swimsuit. Be careful not to rub it in further, as this could cause the stain to set.

Step 2: Pre-Treat Stain

Once the excess has been removed, fill a bucket with cold water and add a small amount of laundry detergent. Submerge the stained area of the swimsuit in the solution and let this sit for 10 to 15 minutes. This will help to pre-treat the stain and make it easier to remove.

Step 3: Rinse Swimsuit

Remove the swimsuit from the bucket and rinse it under cold running water. Make sure to rinse it thoroughly, as any remaining detergent will cause the fabric to become stiff and uncomfortable when it dries.

Step 4: Wash Swimsuit

Fill the sink with warm water and add a small amount of liquid laundry detergent. Submerge the swimsuit in solution and gently agitate it for a few minutes. You can also add a teaspoon of white vinegar, which can help to remove stubborn stains.

Step 5: Air Dry the Swimsuit

Remove the swimsuit from solution and rinse it under cold running water. Hang the swimsuit up to air dry and avoid putting it in the dryer, as this can cause the stain to set. Once it is dry, inspect it for any remaining stains.
