How to Remove Mayonnaise?

Mayonnaise  is a thick, creamy dressing often used as a condiment. It is a stable emulsion of oil, egg yolk, and either vinegar or lemon juice, with many options for embellishment with other herbs and spices.  Commercial egg-free alternatives are available for vegans and others who want to avoid animal products and cholesterol, or who are allergic to eggs. It varies in color, but is often white, cream, or pale yellow. It may range in texture from that of light cream to a thick gel, and a number of people like its special texture and flavor but mayonnaise on your clothes is no fun. Here are some tips from CLEACE, a professional washing powder brand of Aogrand Group, to remove the stains and make your day.

Pretreat

DO NOT attempt to wipe away the stains that are wet or damp as this will spread the stain. When the stain is dry, gently scrape off the excess with the plastic knife or spoon, being careful not to grind the particles into the fabric.

Wash

Gently brush at the stain spot with small brush or toothbrush. Put a few drops of CLEACE liquid detergent onto the stain, and rub it into the stain with your thumb and forefinger. Add a drop or two of water to the stain spot and briskly rub with brush or toothbrush on BOTH sides of the fabric, using circular motions. You may need to repeat these steps several times before the stain is completely gone.

Load

Wash the garment following all care guidelines on the tag.

Unload

When cycle is completely finished, check the clothes carefully for any sign of the stain. If the stain remains, repeat the previous steps. NEVER dry clothes in a dryer if a stain remains as this will set the stain, which will then be nearly impossible to remove.

Tips

ALWAYS read the label on your garment to determine proper washing instructions. It is generally a good idea to wash stained clothes separately from another laundry to avoid spreading the stain to other clothes. If the stain is on a delicate fabric such as silk or wool, or if the garment is designated as dry-clean only, take the item to a professional cleaner.
