Stain Removal Step 1.
Remove as much of the excess tomato as possible from the fabric.

Run cold water through the back of the tomato stain as soon as you can. This will force the stain back out through the fabric.

Stain Removal Step 3.

Rub a liquid detergent into the stained portion of the fabric. Work it in gently.

Stain Removal Step 4.

If the garment is white, or you have tested it for colorfastness, apply a mild bleaching agent like hydrogen peroxide or white vinegar with a sponge. You can also use lemon juice on white fabrics. Rinse well.

Stain Removal Step 5.

Repeat with the detergent followed by mild bleaching agent until the stain no longer appears.

Stain Removal Step 6.

Apply a stain remover stick, gel, or spray, and allow it to sit for at least 5 minutes.

Washed the stained garment normally with detergent. Before drying double check the stain.

Stain Removal Step 8.
