Pre-Treating the Stains

The first step in removing tomato stains is to pre-treat the stains. You should begin by gently rubbing a stain remover bar or liquid onto stained area. If you don't have these products on hand, you can also use white vinegar. After treating the stain, run the garment through a cold water cycle in the washing machine.

Adding a Cleaning Product to the Wash

Once the garment has been through its first cycle, it's time to add a cleaning product to your washing machine. A good option for traditional garments is a gentle detergent, such as Woolite or a specialty garment cleaner. Be sure to read the instructions carefully and follow any special instructions for delicate fabrics.

Air Drying the Garment

Once the garment has been through a second cycle in the washing machine, remove it from the washer and hang it up to air dry. Do not put it in the dryer, as the heat may set the stain. Air drying the garment is the best way to prevent tomato stain from setting in and make sure it's completely gone.

Final Tips

If the tomato stain persists, repeat the cleaning process until the stain is gone.
It may take multiple washings to completely remove the stain.

Don't forget to air dry garment between each cleaning cycle.
