Step 1: Blot the Stain

As soon as you notice tomato sauce stain on your uniform, immediately take a clean, dry cloth and blot the stain. This will prevent it from soaking into the fibers and setting in.

Step 2: Pre-treat the Stain

Once you’ve blotted the stain, use a pre-treatment spray or liquid soap on affected area. Let it sit for five minutes to give it time to work its magic and loosen the stain up.

Step 3: Launder the Uniform

After the pre-treatment is done, launder the uniform according to the instructions on the garment label. Make sure to use recommended temperature of water when laundering. If possible, launder garment separately from other clothes to avoid transferring the stain onto them.

Step 4: Check the Stain again

Once uniform is dry, check the stained area to make sure the stain has been completely removed. If it hasn’t, then repeat steps 2 and 3 until the stain is fully gone.
