How to Clean Tomato Stains From Clothes
If you have a tomato stain on clothing, immediately soak the stain in cold water for at least 15 minutes. You can use a detergent designed specifically for removing tomato stains, or you can try these two home remedies:
- Dish Soap + Baking Soda: Create a paste from equal parts baking soda and dish soap and apply it to the stain. Allow the paste to sit for one hour, then wash the garment as normal.
- Vinegar: Soak stained clothing in vinegar for 5-10 minutes, then rinse in cold water. Again, then launder the clothing as normal.
How to Get Tomato Stains Out of Carpet or Furniture
For tougher tomato stains on carpet and furniture, you will need to treat them with a stain remover specifically designed for tomato stains. There are many commercial stain products available, but you can also make your own homemade tomato stain remover with the following ingredients:
- 1/4 cup white vinegar
- 1/4 cup rubbing alcohol
- 1 teaspoon dish soap
- 2 cups warm water
Combine all ingredients in a spray bottle and spritz mixture onto stain. Blot the stain with a clean cloth and repeat until the stain is completely removed. Finally, rinse the area with cold water to remove any residue.
