Tomato stains are common and annoying, but don't waste money on useless and polluting industrial products. The key is to act quickly—the quicker you act, the better the results—and then simply try the simplest natural remedies. First, dab the stain with sparkling water or cold water (never hot water, which sets the stain and makes it more resistant) and then remove it with one of the natural remedies we recommend here: from baking soda to lemon juice, from white vinegar to Marseille soap.

Bicarbonate and hydrogen peroxide

In general, the most effective natural remedy against tomato stains is made up of only two basic ingredients: bicarbonate and hydrogen peroxide. How is it prepared?

  • Get yourself a bowl and pour 200 grams of bicarbonate and 100 ml of hydrogen peroxide into it
  • Mix well and slowly, until you get a dough
  • Rub the paste over the stain and then leave it on for at least 10-15 minutes
  • Wash the stained garment: better by hand than in the washing machine

To remove the stain with this preparation, you can use a toothbrush or a cloth: the important thing is to rub very gently.

Coarse salt and lemon

Another effective combination against tomato stains involves the combined use of coarse salt and lemon.

  • Get yourself some salt thick and apply it on the stain
  • With a cotton ball, soaked in lemon juice Lemon;, go over the stained spot again
  • Rinse and wash the garment in cold water, avoiding the washing machine

Before washing, we recommend exposing the fabric where you removed the stain to the sun for 30-60 minutes: the sun helps bleach naturally.

White vinegar and salt

The white vinegar and salt solution is perhaps the most suitable when the tomato stains are very stubborn.

  • Mix white vinegar and fine salt until you get a paste
  • Apply to the stain and leave to act for 10-15 minutes
  • Rinse and wash the garment as usual.

Remember that if the fabric is delicate, it is best to test this solution on a small area of ​​the stain, then check that it works and, if necessary, continue.

Marseille soap

This is a natural remedy that's very suitable for cotton, linen, and durable fabrics. Simply dampen the stained area with cold water, then rub the Marseille soap directly on and let it sit for about half an hour before rinsing.

How to remove tomato stains from carpets

Sui carpets And on carpets, it's a good idea to wipe the stained area with a damp cloth soaked in cold water, and leave it for at least fifteen minutes before using a spray cleaner. Another option, for more stubborn stains, is white wine vinegar. Pour or spray it on the stain and let it dry for about twenty minutes. Then rinse with cold water.

How to remove tomato stains from tablecloths

One of the most frequent stains on the table is that of tomato sauce that remains stuck to the tablecloth. In this case, simply run cool tap water over the back of the stain. Then wash the edges of the tomato sauce. Only when the stain is dry can you add a small amount of baking soda paste with coarse salt. Then proceed with washing the tablecloth as usual.
