What You Need to Clean the Stain
- Dish soap or laundry detergent
- White vinegar
- Baking Soda
- Old Toothbrush
- Clean Towel
Removing the Stain
- Turn the garment inside out and flush the stained area with cold water. This helps rinse away a portion of stain before applying any other ingredients.
- Create a paste using one tablespoon of dish soap, 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda, and two tablespoons of white vinegar. Use an old toothbrush to rub the paste into the stain.
- Let the paste sit and work its magic for 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, rinse the garment in cold water, making sure to rub the stained area a bit to ensure that it's fully rinsed.
- Apply a drop of dish soap directly on the stain and wash the garment with warm water in the washing machine. For deeper stains, run the shirt through the wash cycle twice.
- Air dry the garment, and then examine it: the tomato sauce stain should be gone.
