How to Remove Mustard Stains

Mustard powder can be brushed off.  Prepared mustard produces a stain that is difficult to remove.

On Washable Fabrics

Rub fresh stains between your fingers in a mild detergent solution, then sponge with an ammonia solution.  Soften dried stains at first with a glycerin solution, and let stand for at least an hour.

On Other Surfaces

Sponge carpets and furniture with a mild detergent solution, then an ammonia solution.  Avoid over wetting, and finish by sponging with clean water.  Stubborn stains require professional cleaning.
