Happy Black Friday! Between fueling up for midnight shopping and cleaning up Thanksgiving dinner, I bet there were some gravy spills in the last 24 hours. To help you tackle this tricky stain, I wanted to provide my favorite treatment for gravy stains. Gravy is a complex stain with grease, starch and colorant that requires lots of attention. To start. scrape off excess gravy with a dull knife; blot gently with a paper towel or cloth; cover with cornstarch to help absorb the grease; brush off. Blot with cold water and liquid dish detergent then rinse.
FROM HERE, IF YOUR STAINED ITEM IS WHITE:
- Rub any residual stain gently with Clorox® Bleach Pen Gel prior to laundering
- Wash immediately in the hottest water recommended using detergent and ¾ cup Clorox® Regular Bleach2
- Air dry the item and check to make sure the stain is completely removed. If stain remains, repeat steps above.
IF YOUR STAINED ITEM HAS COLOR:
- Again, start by scraping off excess gravy with a dull knife; blot gently with a paper towel or cloth; sprinkle with cornstarch to help absorb excess grease, then brush the cornstarch off
- Next apply liquid dish detergent to the stain, and then rinse
- Then apply good liquid laundry detergent and rub into stain. Wash immediately in hottest water recommended using detergent and Clorox2® Stain Remover and Color Booster
- Air dry the item and check to make sure the stain is completely removed. If stain remains, repeat steps above.
