Before attempting to remove the stain, it's important to act fast. Start by scraping off any excess sauce. Blot the area with a paper towel or cloth, as this helps to soak up much of stain. Once you’ve blotted the area, place enough cold water on the stain to cover it.
Next, prepare a cleaning solution by combining two cups of cold water, one tablespoon of white vinegar, and one tablespoon of liquid detergent. Then, submerge the affected area of the sari into the solution. Allow it to soak for around half an hour, then start blotting area. Rinse the sari multiple times to get rid of any residues.
For tougher stains, a paste of equal parts white vinegar, baking soda, and liquid detergent should do trick. Apply the paste on the stain, leave it on for 10 minutes, then rinse. Repeat this process if necessary.
When it comes to preventing tomato stains, taking extra care while eating is key. Make sure to use a plate, napkin, and spoon when consuming any tomato-based dish. If a spill does occur, immediately use a damp cloth to soak up the mess.
