Removing Fresh Tomato Stains
The best way to remove a fresh tomato stain from cashmere is to blot away as much of liquid as possible. To do this, put paper towels or a clean cloth underneath stain and press lightly on the garment. Next, use a damp cloth or sponge to dab at the stain — be careful not to scrub too hard, as this could damage the fibers of your cashmere. Finally, rinse the area with cold water and repeat the process until the stain has been eliminated.
Getting Rid of Set-In Tomato Stains
For set-in tomato stains, you’ll need to use a stronger cleaning agent. Start by making a solution of equal parts water and white vinegar, and saturate the stained area. Let solution sit for 15-20 minutes before blotting it off with a clean cloth. For an extra boost, add a few drops of dish soap to the water-vinegar mixture before applying it to garment. Once you’ve finished blotting the solution away, rinse the area with cold water to remove any residue.
Finishing Up
Once you’ve worked to remove tomato stain, it’s important to finish up properly. To prevent damage, always air-dry your cashmere clothing, never tumble-dry or wring it out. Additionally, you may want to give the garment a gentle brushing to ensure that all of the fibers have been smoothed out.
