TRANSCRIPT
Whether it's a dinner party or Super Bowl, sooner or later somebody's probably going to spill something like tomato sauce, salsa, something, on a good fabric. This is a quick way to get it out. Go ahead and take all the excess and just scape it off. Flip it over. Take a half cut lemon. Go ahead and squeeze some of the juice and just gently work through it. It's important that you work on the stain from the flip side. That way you really get the stain out and not ground in. Then you just rinse this under a thin stream of some water. Now at this point most the stains gone but go ahead and take the lemon, squeeze it over again. Let that air dry and it'll be gone. As a last ditch effort, throw some salt on there before you do that second lemon squeeze and then just gently, gently scrub it, that'll help get it out.
