Pro tip

The acid in tomato is actually a natural stain fighter — but you need more acidity (vinegar) to outcompete it. The combination of dish soap + white vinegar is quite effective.

Always check the garment's care label and test any solution on a hidden area first. StainsGone provides general household guidance, not professional textile or restoration advice.
