Egg stains are challenging to clean. The mistake you should not make is to try to remove an egg stain with hot water, which will cook the egg and cause it to become more embedded. In this post, you will learn how to remove egg stains from various kinds of material.
Removing an egg stain from leather

Stain removers in the form of sprays are available in drugstores.

Clean the sponge and rub the stain.
