Tomato sauce is one of the toughest stains to remove from clothes and fabrics, including raincoats. To successfully remove these stubborn stains, start by blotting the area with a soft, absorbent cloth or towel. Use gentle pressure and do not rub, as this could cause the stain to spread and become more difficult to remove.
Next, prepare a cleaning solution using a natural soap, such as castile or liquid soap, and warm water. Mix until you have created a light foam. Apply the cleaning solution to the stained area and gently scrub with a soft-bristled brush or sponge. You may want to use a toothbrush for small, hard-to-reach areas. Rinse the area with warm water and then blot the area with a towel to remove the remaining cleaning solution.
If the stain persists, try soaking affected area in some white vinegar diluted with water. Let it sit for about 30 minutes before rinsing with warm water. Blot the area with a towel to remove any remaining moisture.
For extra-stubborn stains, you may need to use a spot remover specifically designed for stubborn tomato stains. Follow the instructions on the label carefully and avoid using harsh chemicals on delicate fabrics such as raincoats.
Finally, let the raincoat air dry or use a blow dryer on a low setting. Do not put the raincoat in the dryer to avoid setting the stain.
These simple techniques should remove even the toughest tomato stains from your raincoat. With a little bit of patience and a few simple household supplies, you can make your raincoat look like new again!
