Luckily, there are several methods you can use to clean tomato stains from coats. The most effective method depends on the type of coat you have and the ingredients you have on hand.
Removing Tomato Stains From Wool Coats
Wool coats are delicate and must be cared for carefully. If a tomato stain has set on your wool coat, you should try to act quickly. Start by blotting the stain with cold water and a clean cloth. This will help to lift some of the excess tomato juice from the surface of the coat.
Once you’ve blotted the stain, mix a solution of 1 part white vinegar to 3 parts cold water. Dip a clean cloth into the solution and gently blot the stain until it fades. Depending on size and severity of the stain, you may need to repeat this process several times.
After the stain has been removed, rinse the area with cold water and let the coat air dry. If the stain persists, you may need to take your coat to a professional cleaner.
Removing Tomato Stains From Cotton Coats
Cotton coats are much easier to care for than wool coats and can usually handle harsher cleaning methods. To remove a tomato stain from a cotton coat, mix a solution of 2 tablespoons of liquid detergent and 1 tablespoon of white vinegar with 1 cup of warm water. Dip a clean cloth into the solution and blot the stain until it fades.
Once the stain is gone, rinse the area with cold water and let coat air dry. If necessary, you can also use a brush or a clean toothbrush to scrub the area gently.
Removing Tomato Stains From Synthetic Coats
Synthetic coats are usually very easy to clean, but the process for removing a tomato stain from them is slightly different. Start by blotting the stain with cold water and a clean cloth. Once you’ve blotted up as much of the stain as possible, rub a dab of laundry detergent onto the area and let it sit for 5 minutes.
After the detergent has had a chance to work, rinse the area with cold water and let the coat air dry. If the stain persists, you may need to take your coat to a professional cleaner.
