Pre-Treatment Steps

The first step in getting tomato stains out of Marcella is to pre-treat the fabric. To do this, mix 1 tablespoon of a liquid laundry detergent and 1 teaspoon of white vinegar with 2 cups of warm water. Use a clean cloth or sponge to apply the solution to the stained area. Then, dab the fabric with cloth or sponge until stain is removed. Let the pre-treated fabric sit for at least 15 minutes before moving onto the next step.

Wash with Detergent

Once the pre-treatment is complete, it’s time to wash the fabric. To do this, fill a bucket or sink with warm water and add 1/2 cup of detergent specifically formulated for delicates, such as Marcella. Swish the fabric around in the water for about 10 minutes, then rinse with cold water. After rinsing, squeeze the excess water out of the fabric and place it in the sun to air dry.

Use of Bleach Alternative

If stain isn’t completely gone after washing, you may need to use a bleach alternative, such as hydrogen peroxide. Use a clean cloth to dab hydrogen peroxide directly onto the tomato stain. Then, let fabric sit for 15 minutes before rinsing off with cold water. Once again, allow the fabric to air dry in the sun.

Conclusion

By following these simple steps, you can successfully get tomato stains out of your Marcella fabric. Remember to always use a detergent specifically formulated for delicates and to air dry the fabric in the sun for best results.
