Below are instructions for how to remove stains caused by Worcestershire sauce from fabric, upholstery and carpet.

How To Remove A Stain Caused By Worcestershire Sauce From Fabric

Step 1: Flush the stained fabric with cold water, being careful not to spread the stain further.

Step 2: Sponge ammonia onto the stained area of the fabric, being careful first to check in an inconspicuous area to make sure that the ammonia will not harm the fabric.

Step 3: Rinse out the ammonia and the spot caused by the sauce.

Step 4: You may need to repeat steps 2-3 a couple of times to remove most or all of the stain.

Step 5: Pretreat the stain with a laundry stain remover.

CAUTION: Make sure neither the laundry stain remover, detergent or bleach you use after treating the fabric with ammonia contains chlorine bleach. Chlorine bleach and ammonia, mixed together can make a poisonous gas.
