In fact, it is probably one of the first things you think about when you think of the holiday. If you accidentally drop a piece of turkey on your clothing, don\u2019t panic, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/how-to-make-natural-dyes\/\">oily stain<\/a> left behind can easily be removed.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>To remove a turkey stain you will need\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Dull knife or spoon<\/li><li>Clean napkin or towel<\/li><li>Cornstarch, talcum powder, or bicarbonate of soda<\/li><li>Heavy-duty liquid detergent&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To begin removing your turkey stain use a dull knife or spoon to lift any solid bits of turkey from your clothing. Be careful not to push too hard when lifting the turkey as you could push the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/how-to-remove-beetroot-stains\/\">stain <\/a>further into your garment, making it harder to remove.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you have removed as much turkey as possible, use a clean napkin or towel to blot at your stain. This will soak up some of the oil and make your stain easier to lift. Make sure that you are blotting and not rubbing as rubbing will only push the stain further into your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/how-to-care-for-your-dogs-clothing-%ef%bf%bc\/\">clothing<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After blotting at your stain, sprinkle cornstarch, talcum powder, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/5-benefits-of-adding-baking-soda-to-your-laundry\/\">bicarbonate of soda<\/a> over the stained area, making sure that your stain is completely covered. Regardless of which of these powders you use, they will help to absorb any oil that you could not lift from blotting. Leave your powder for 10-15 minutes, before shaking it off.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, rub a small amount of<a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/a-comprehensive-guide-to-laundry-detergent\/\"> heavy-duty laundry detergent<\/a> directly onto your stain. You must make sure that you are using a heavy-duty detergent as they contain the necessary enzymes to break down the oil molecules in your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/the-5-stains-of-an-afternoon-tea\/\">stain<\/a>. You can use your fingers or a soft-bristled brush to work your detergent into your stain. Once you are satisfied that your detergent has been fully worked in, leave it to sit for 15 minutes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After 15 minutes, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/5-things-you-didnt-know-you-could-clean-in-the-washing-machine\/\">wash<\/a> your garment as you usually would, checking that the stain has been completely lifted before drying.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Turkey.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Turkey.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Turkey.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Turkey.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Turkey.jpg?resize=1536%2C864&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Turkey.jpg?resize=2048%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Turkey.jpg?resize=1200%2C675&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Turkey.jpg?resize=292%2C164&amp;ssl=1 292w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Turkey.jpg?w=2580&amp;ssl=1 2580w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Turkey.jpg?w=3870&amp;ssl=1 3870w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Photo by\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/@rodnae-prod?utm_content=attributionCopyText&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=pexels\">RODNAE Productions<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0from\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/photo\/person-slicing-meat-on-table-5848011\/?utm_content=attributionCopyText&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=pexels\">Pexels<\/a><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\" id=\"gravy\">Gravy<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can\u2019t possibly enjoy turkey without gravy.

You may be tempted to use a cloth to rub the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/the-5-stains-of-a-picnic\/\">stain<\/a>, however, this will only set it further into your garment and make it harder to remove.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, cover your stain with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/powder-vs-liquid-laundry-detergent\/\">heavy-duty laundry detergent<\/a> and use a soft-bristled brush to work it into your stain. Scrub your stain lightly with your brush, using enough effort to ensure that the stain is being penetrated by the detergent, but not enough effort to rip your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/clothing-to-avoid-wearing-to-the-beach\/\">garment<\/a>. Once you are satisfied that your detergent has adequately covered the stain, leave your garment for 15 minutes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After 15 minutes, wash your clothing using the hottest setting advised on your items care label. You may also want to add a small amount of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/must-have-laundry-products-%ef%bf%bc\/\">all-fabric bleach<\/a> to your washing machine to lift any discolouration caused by the gravy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once your wash cycle has finished, check that your stain has been completely removed before <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/hacks-for-drying-clothes\/\">drying<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-default\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"999\" height=\"562\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Gravy-boat.jpg?resize=999%2C562&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8677\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Gravy-boat.jpg?w=999&amp;ssl=1 999w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Gravy-boat.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Gravy-boat.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Gravy-boat.jpg?resize=292%2C164&amp;ssl=1 292w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 999px) 100vw, 999px\" \/><figcaption>Image by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/dinnerseries\/\">Didriks<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\" id=\"yams\">Yams<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yams are the perfect Thanksgiving side. They are beautifully sweet and taste wonderful when paired with gravy.

Try to be as gentle as possible whilst lifting your yams as you could push your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/how-to-remove-blood-stains\/\">stain <\/a>further into your clothing, making it harder to lift.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Immediately after lifting as much solid yam from your clothing as possible, use<a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/how-does-water-hardness-affect-your-laundry\/\"> cold water<\/a> to flush out your stain. The water will run through the stained area of your garment, pushing out as much of the stain as possible. Make sure that you are using cold water as anything hotter will only set the stain into the fibres of your clothing.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you are satisfied that your stain has been adequately flushed, pour a small amount of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/?s=laundry+detergent\">heavy-duty laundry detergent<\/a> directly onto the stained area. Work the detergent into your stain using your fingers, making sure that the whole stain is covered by detergent. Once you are satisfied that your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/how-to-remove-mouthwash-stains\/\">stain <\/a>has been covered, set your garment to one side for 15 minutes. During this time the detergent will penetrate your stain and begin breaking down its oily molecules.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After 15 minutes have passed, wash your clothing as you usually would. Once your garment has completed its wash, check thoroughly to make sure that the stain has been completely removed before drying.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Yams.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8681\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Yams.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Yams.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Yams.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Yams.jpg?resize=1536%2C864&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Yams.jpg?resize=2048%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Yams.jpg?resize=1200%2C675&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Yams.jpg?resize=292%2C164&amp;ssl=1 292w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Yams.jpg?w=2580&amp;ssl=1 2580w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Photo by\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/@loren-biser-1425370?utm_content=attributionCopyText&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=pexels\">Loren Biser<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0from\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/photo\/food-healthy-wood-orange-5959859\/?utm_content=attributionCopyText&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=pexels\">Pexels<\/a><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\" id=\"pumpkin\">Pumpkin\u00a0<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a delicious Thanksgiving meal, there\u2019s nothing better than a delectable dessert. Pumpkin pie is one of the most popular desserts to have during Thanksgiving, and pumpkin is a likely stain to find during the holiday season.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>To remove a pumpkin stain you will need\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Dull knife or spoon<\/li><li>Cold water<\/li><li>Heavy-duty laundry detergent&nbsp;<\/li><li>Rubbing alcohol or white vinegar&nbsp;<\/li><li>White cloth or napkin<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To begin removing your pumpkin stain use a dull knife or spoon to lift as much solid pumpkin from your clothing as possible. Be careful when doing this as pumpkin can be slippery and you don\u2019t want to spread your stain to other areas of your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/how-to-remove-sand-from-your-clothing\/\">clothing<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, flush your stain using cold water. Before putting your stain under the water make sure that it is cold as any warmer temperature will set your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/how-to-remove-gardening-stains\/\">stain <\/a>further into your garment. Leave your garment under the water until you are satisfied that no more of your stain can be flushed out.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you have removed your garment from the water, rub a small amount of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/sustainability-at-laundryheap%ef%bf%bc\/\">heavy-duty laundry detergent <\/a>into your stain. Make sure that your whole stain has been rubbed with detergent or risk only lifting part of the stain. Once you are satisfied that your whole stain has been adequately rubbed with detergent, set your garment to one side for 15 minutes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After 15 minutes, wash your clothing as you usually would. Once your garment has completed its wash, check to make sure that the stain has been completely removed. If the stain has not been removed, dampen a clean white cloth or napkin with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/the-5-stains-of-pancake-day\/\">rubbing alcohol<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/how-to-remove-stains-with-vinegar\/\">white vinegar<\/a> and blot at your stain.

If your lipstick stain still has not been lifted, repeat the process.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Lipstick.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8685\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Lipstick.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Lipstick.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Lipstick.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Lipstick.jpg?resize=1536%2C864&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Lipstick.jpg?resize=2048%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Lipstick.jpg?resize=1200%2C675&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Lipstick.jpg?resize=292%2C164&amp;ssl=1 292w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Lipstick.jpg?w=2580&amp;ssl=1 2580w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Lipstick.jpg?w=3870&amp;ssl=1 3870w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Photo by\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/@michelle-leman?utm_content=attributionCopyText&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=pexels\">Michelle Leman<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0from\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/photo\/lady-applying-lipstick-while-looking-at-mirror-reflection-at-home-6798775\/?utm_content=attributionCopyText&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=pexels\">Pexels<\/a><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanksgiving is a time to enjoy yourself with your loved ones, not a time to be worried about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/reduce-reuse-recycle-whilst-doing-laundry\/\">laundry<\/a>.
