Step 1: Blot Stain
Start by blotting stain with a dry, absorbent cloth. This will help remove as much of liquid as possible without spreading the stain. Work from the outside in, pressing down gently as you go.
Step 2: Apply a Detergent-and-Water Mixture
Mix together one teaspoon of a liquid laundry detergent and two cups of cool water. Dip a clean cloth into the mixture and apply it to the stain. Be sure to dab, rather than scrub, so as not to spread the stain further.
Step 3: Rinse with Cold Water
Once the detergent mixture has been applied, rinse thoroughly with cold water. This will help to remove any remaining detergent residue.
Step 4: Pre-Treat the Stain
If the stain remains, pre-treat it with a commercial spot remover or pre-wash stain remover. Follow instructions on the product label and allow pre-treater to sit for 15 minutes before laundering.
Step 5: Launder as Usual
Wash dobby fabric in hottest water recommended on the care label. Add an extra rinse cycle for good measure. If the stain is still present, repeat pre-treating and laundering steps.
Conclusion
Removing tomato stains from dobby fabric can be a challenge. But with the right products and techniques—and a little patience—you can easily get rid of stubborn tomato stains.
