How to Get Rid of Greasy Pizza Stains

Call us cliché, but our New York-based team really loves pizza. In fact, we believe there are no downsides to pizza... except maybe finding traces of it on your clothes.

That's why today, on National Pizza Day, we're sharing a handful of laundry hacks so that you'll never get fazed by greasy sauce stains again.

If sauce gets on your clothes...

🍕 Don't panic

Tackle the tannin-based part of the stain by dousing the red spots with distilled white vinegar (the kind you keep in your pantry). Rinse with water and repeat as needed.

🍕 Oxygen booster is your friend

If a stain is stubborn, take some color-safe oxygen booster (ours is called Supersalt) and make it into a paste by adding a little water. Cover the stain with a light layer of paste and let it sit for 15 minutes. Rinse with water.

🍕 Use elbow grease to fight actual grease

If the stain looks greasy or oily, rub a colorless oil-based bar soap into the stain. We sell a soap stick called Wunderbar, which would come in handy here.

🍕 Machine wash and inspect before drying

Machine wash normally after pre-treating your stain. Take a good look at your garment before putting it in the dryer. Heat will set the stain so make sure it's really gone! If necessary, do another round of stain treating before drying.

🍕 Sharing is caring

Last but not least, share this post with the pizza lovers in your life!

Psst... On Instagram we posted some of our team's favorite places to grab a slice (or entire pie) after work. Most of these are in NYC but we also included a spot in upstate New York. Bookmark them for your next outing or trip to the Big Apple! 😉
