Spilled mayonnaise on your clothes? This greasy sauce is notoriously stubborn, often leaving greasy halos if not treated properly—especially if you apply water first, which sets the stain.
Fortunately, as cleaning experts recommend, Terre de Sommières—a natural diatomaceous earth—effectively absorbs the grease. Here's the proven method:
Contents 1. Scrape off as much mayonnaise as possible with a knife.
2. Sprinkle a thick layer of Terre de Sommières directly on the stain.
3. Let it sit for several hours to fully absorb the grease.
4. Brush or scrape away the powder.
5. Dab the area with white vinegar.
6. Wash the garment in your machine as usual.
And there you have it! The mayonnaise stain is completely gone, leaving your clothes spotless with no greasy residue.
For best results on natural fabrics like cotton or linen, apply Terre de Sommières immediately before the stain sets.
On synthetic fabrics, follow the same steps but dab with a mixture of salt and lemon juice instead of vinegar.
