4. If you see the food stain after it has dried, soak in warm water and add detergent. Read the fabric label before soaking in the warm water. Few fabric materials can spoil in hot water so be careful with the water temperature.

5. After soaking the stained cloth in detergent, see if the food stain has lightened or not. Now sprinkle little club soda and rub on the stain till it fades away. Wash the food stain and air dry.

6. You can also rub a lemon slice to get rid of food or oil stains from clothes.

You can also add little salt to remove the stain. Salt can fade the colour of the fabric so try with little salt on the end of the cloth piece before applying on the stain.
