Instructions
- Start by scraping off as much of the sauce as possible with a butter knife or spoon.
- Mix a solution of 1 quart warm water, 1 teaspoon clear dishwashing liquid, and 1 tablespoon white vinegar.
- Using a clean cloth, apply the solution to the stain, working from the outside in.
- Blot the stain with a damp cloth to wet it completely.
- Let the area dry, then blot it with a clean towel to blot up any remaining solution.
- Repeat until the stain is gone.
- If the stain is still there, mix a paste of baking soda and water and gently rub the stain with the paste. Let it sit for a few minutes, then rinse it off with cold water.
- Once the stain is removed, you may want to treat area with a fabric protector.
- Wash the garment as usual.
Tips
- Try not to let stain dry before treating it.
- Don’t rub vigorously, as this can wear down the fabric.
- When washing the garment, use a gentle, low-heat cycle.
