How to Get Spaghetti Off Fabric

As a favorite meal for many families, spaghetti often ends up on clothing. Spaghetti is typically accompanied by tomato sauce, which stains fabric red. Over time, tomato sauce can become embedded in the fabric fibers, and spaghetti noodles dry and stick to fabric. The longer spaghetti noodles and tomato sauce remain on fabric, the harder they are to remove. Remove them using common laundry products.

Dull butter knife
White paper towels
Aerosol laundry pre-treatment stain remover
Washing machine
2 oz. oxygen-based powdered bleach

Instructions

- 1
  Scrape off the spaghetti noodles using a dull butter knife. Remove all noodles from the fabric.
- 2
  Blot up excess tomato sauce using paper towels. Continually replace the paper towels as tomato sauce transfers onto them.
- 3
  Douse the remaining stain with an aerosol laundry pre-treatment stain remover. Let the pre-treatment solution permeate the stain for one minute.
- 4
  Launder the fabric promptly with 2 oz. of oxygen-based powdered bleach. Oxygen-based bleach, unlike chlorine bleach, won’t discolor the fabric. Use the water temperature setting and machine cycle specified on the fabric’s label.
- 5
  Hang the fabric outdoors or lay it flat to air-dry.
