## **How to Use Yogurt to Remove Sauce Stains**
### 1. **Act Quickly**
The sooner you treat the stain, the better the chances of complete removal. Blot off any excess sauce gently with a clean cloth or paper towel.
### 2. **Apply Plain Yogurt**
Scoop a small amount of plain, unsweetened yogurt (not flavored or fruit-filled) directly onto the stained area.
### 3. **Let It Sit**
Allow the yogurt to sit on the stain for about 15-20 minutes. The enzymes in yogurt will start breaking down the stain particles.
### 4. **Gently Rub and Rinse**
Using your fingers or a soft brush, gently rub the yogurt into the fabric. Then rinse thoroughly with cold water.
### 5. **Wash as Usual**
After rinsing, wash the garment as you normally would in the washing machine. Check to ensure the stain is gone before drying; if not, repeat the process.
