Step 1: Blot The Stain

Start by using a clean towel to blot tomato stain as best you can. Don't rub or spread it, as this will make it worse.

Step 2: Prepare A Vinegar Solution

Mix equal parts of white vinegar and cold water in a bowl. If the stain is large, use a ratio of one part vinegar to two parts water.

Step 3: Soak The Stain

Using a clean cloth, soak up the vinegar solution and dab it onto the tomato stain. Allow it to sit for 10-20 minutes.

Step 4: Rinse With Cold Water

Rinse the area with cold water and pat dry. If the stain remains, move on to step 5.

Step 5: Use A Dry Cleaning Solution

Use a cotton swab or toothbrush to gently rub a dry cleaning solution into the tomato stain. Allow it to sit for 10-20 minutes, then rinse with cold water.

Step 6: Blot Dry

Once the tomato stain has been removed, allow area to air dry until it is completely dry.
