Steps for Removing Tomato Sauce Stains from Suits
- Begin by scraping off as much of the sauce as possible with a butterknife.
- Blot the stain with cold water to help loosen it from the fabric.
- Create a paste using 1 tablespoon of baking soda and 1 tablespoon of water. Spread the mixture onto the stain and allow it to sit for 15-20 minutes.
- Rinse area with cold water, blotting it until no more residue comes up.
- Soak the area in cold water with 1/2 cup of white vinegar for five minutes.
- Wash the area with cold water again and use a washcloth to help rub away the stain.
- Allow the area to air dry (do not use a hairdryer or any other heating device).
- If the stain is still present, repeat steps 3-7.
Additional Tips
- Always pre-treat tomato sauce stains as soon as possible; the sooner you can begin to remove them, the better.
- Never apply heat to a stain; this can set stain and make it harder to remove.
- Always test any cleaning solution in an inconspicuous area of the garment before applying it to stain.
