How to Remove a Vegemite Stain
Vegemite is a sandwich spread popular in Australia. Made with yeast extract, spices, and vegetables, people generally spread Vegemite on bread. Like peanut butter and jelly in the U.S., Vegemite sandwiches are a popular food choice for many Australian children and adults.
Things You Will Need
- Spoon
- Rag
- Dry-cleaning solvent
- Talcum powder
- Vacuum
Vegemite has the consistency of peanut butter, and if the spread drops onto clothing, upholstery, carpets, or fabric, it can leave a stain. The quicker you deal with a Vegemite stain, the easier it will be to remove.
-
Remove any excess Vegemite by scraping it off with a spoon.
-
Dampen a rag with white spirits. White spirits is a dry-cleaning solvent you can find in the laundry or cleaning section of department stores.
-
Blot the stain with the damp rag until it is thoroughly saturated. Sprinkle talcum powder directly over the dampened stain.
-
Let the talcum powder dry completely before brushing it off. If the stain is on carpet, use a vacuum to remove the talcum powder.
-
Launder machine washable fabrics as you normally would.
Tip
If you cannot find white spirits, any type of dry-cleaning solvent will work. It may take several repetitions of the process to completely remove the Vegemite stain.
