Nacho cheese sauce
Who doesn’t love ooey-gooey nacho cheese sauce? It is warm and comforting, but if it gets on your clothing, it can be one of the most difficult stains to remove. Use these tips the next time you need to remove cheese stains from clothing:
Remove excess – Use a metal spoon to gently lift off any excess cheese sauce. DO NOT RUB the fabric!
Rub under cold water – Flip the fabric inside out and run under cold water.
Soak in cold water with liquid detergent – Fill the sink with cold water and a cap full of liquid laundry detergent with bleaching agent. Allow the garment to soak for 30 minutes.

Cheese stains
In the movies, whenever you see someone spill something on themselves, another person always run to the kitchen for the miracle stain remover. Do you know what it is? If you guessed club soda, you’re right! There is a reason why club soda is always depicted as the ‘go to’ stain removal cure. IT WORKS. Which brings us to our next method of learning how to remove cheese stains from clothing:
Blot – Cheese stains are a protein based stain, thus they should always be pretreated with COLD water. Blot the stain with a dry paper towel, and then reblot using a slightly dampened (with cold water) paper towel. DO NOT RUB. Blot up as much of the stain as possible.
Apply the miracle cure – Pour a bit of club soda on a clean towel and blot again. Flip the towel over as you blot, so that you are constantly using a clean surface. If the stain doesn’t come out right away, reapply some more club soda until it disappears.
Launder – Place the garment in your washing machine and wash with your regular laundry detergent. Again, use warm water to help remove cheese stains.
Melted cheese
As soon as you notice melted cheese on your clothing, begin taking action to remove the stain. Don’t just toss your clothes in the laundry, though. Pretreat it by using the following technique:
Remove the excess – Use a metal spoon to lift off any excess cheese. Remember not to rub the fabric, just lift it off of the fabric.
Pretreat – Sprinkle a small amount of powdered laundry detergent with bleaching agent on the stain. Wet a toothbrush and scrub the cheese stain. You’ll notice that the powder will start to become a paste. Rub in a circular motion for 20 – 30 seconds.
Rinse – Rinse the cheese stain under COLD water. Massage the fabric with your hands as you rinse.
Launder – The final step in learning how to remove cheese stains from clothing, is to launder the garment in warm water. Make sure the stain is completely removed before placing in the dryer. If any sign of the stain still remains, repeat the steps listed above once more.
