Brilio.net - White clothes are always a classic and elegant choice, but they are also full of risks, especially when dealing with food stains. Sauces, curries, or colored drinks like coffee are often the main "enemies". As soon as brightly colored food or drinks touch white fabric, striking stains immediately appear, making the appearance less neat and difficult to ignore.
The problem is, colored food stains such as sauces have pigments that quickly absorb into the fabric fibers, especially if left too long without being cleaned. Even after washing, these stains often leave faint marks that detract from the beauty of the clothes. This is certainly a big concern, especially for those who often wear white clothes for formal events or everyday activities.
However, this food stain does not mean that it cannot be removed. With the right cleaning method, you can restore the beauty of white clothes. But please note that there are several washing steps that need to be done to remove sauce stains on white clothes.
To be more precise, an Instagram user @siti_setyowati_ once shared an effective way to remove sauce stains quickly. No half measures, she only needed 10 minutes to make her white clothes bright again. Although it was quite fast, there were no stains left at all.
As reported by brilio.net from Instagram @siti_setyowati_ on Friday (10/1), the first thing to do is prepare some cleaning materials. In the video, Instagram user @siti_setyowati_ uses salt, baking soda, vinegar, and detergent. These ingredients will later be mixed together to remove stains.

But before that, make sure you rinse the clothes first. So, the remaining dirt from the sauce stain must be cleaned by rinsing. This will make the process of washing the remaining stain easier later.

Next, sprinkle salt on the area of the shirt that has the sauce stain, then spread it out. Next, sprinkle baking soda and detergent to taste. After that, pour vinegar on the area. Once spread out, let it sit for 10 minutes so that all of these ingredients can soak into the fabric fibers.

Then, rinse with plain water and put it in a bucket. While rinsing with water, rub the sauce stain with your hands. Because it has been left to sit first, the sauce stain will be easier to remove when rubbed.

The last step, rinse again until completely clean with running water. A moment after rinsing, the white clothes will be bright again. There are even no traces of sauce stains or residue left. Once done, hang the clothes to dry.
