Tomato sauce stains.
Pasta, pizza, ketchup. The sauce has colour and oil: cold water first, then a little washing-up liquid.
- First: cold water
- Wash: as the care label says
What to do right away.
- 1Lift the sauce off with a spoon, without pressing it into the fabric.
- 2Rinse with cold water from the back.
- 3Add a drop of washing-up liquid for the oil and work it in gently.
Try it first on a spot that doesn’t show.
What not to do.
- No hot water at first.
The tomato’s red stays in the fabric more easily.
- Don’t rub.
The sauce spreads.
- No tumble dryer until it’s gone.
Heat sets the stain for good.
In the machine, with the sheet.
- 1Put one sheet in the drum with the clothes. For a bigger or dirtier load, see how many sheets.
- 2Wash at the temperature on the care label.
- 3Before drying, check the spot. If the stain still shows, repeat the steps and wash it again.
- 4On whites, hang the garment in the sun: it helps fade whatever is left of the red.
Always follow the garment’s care label. Silk, wool and “dry clean only” clothes go to the dry cleaner.
