What You Will Need

  • Dish Soap
  • Salt
  • White Vinegar
  • Baking Soda
  • Soft Bristle Brush

Step 1: Prep the Stained Area

Begin by dampening the stain with cold water. This will help soften the dried tomato stain and make it easier to treat. Avoid using hot water as this could set the stain further into the fabric.

Step 2: Make a Paste

In a small bowl, combine 1 part dish soap with 2 parts salt until mixture forms a paste. Use the paste to coat stained area.

Step 3: Allow to Sit

Once the paste is applied, allow it to sit for around 15 minutes whilst the soap loosens the tomato residue and the salt absorbs some of the juice.

Step 4: Scrub the Stain

Take a soft bristled brush and gently scrub the stained area. This should help remove the remaining tomato residue from the fabric.

Step 5: Rinse and Repeat

Once tomato stain has been removed, rinse the fabric with cold water to remove any traces of the paste. If any residue remains, repeat steps 2 through 4 until the stain is completely gone.

Alternative Method: White Vinegar and Baking Soda

If the tomato stain persists, try combining equal parts white vinegar and baking soda until a paste is formed. Apply the paste to the stained area, allow it to sit for 15 minutes and then scrub fabric with a soft bristled brush. Once tomato stain has been removed, rinse the fabric with cold water.

Conclusion

By following these simple steps, you should be able to easily remove tomato stains from your J Jills. Remember to always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area of the garment before applying it directly to the stain to ensure that the fabric doesn’t suffer any damage.
