tomato sauce? acidic?

[west coast wonderboy]

I spilled pizza sauce on my apcs last night but I scraped it off today and you can't really tell where it was unless you look close. went out and got some bronners anyways and now i can't decide whether to wash them or just roll with it. is tomato sauce particularly acidic? would leaving there for a while be a real bad idea? tried search, found nothing, anyone got any ideas?

It's pretty acidic depending on how the sauce was made. Some people make their sauce low acidic. I think it depends on the salt and butter you add. I might be wrong though, but i'm pretty sure there is acid involved.

definitely acidic -- particularly for quick sauces

so does that then mean i will damage the fabric if I leave it there? should i realy care? I'm trying not to worry too much about them since they're just jeans but i dont want to wreck them...

jeans are workwear, pizza sauce will not wreck them...

don't worry about it.

I doubt it's acidic enough to affect the denim.

Unless the spill is near your crotch, I wouldn't worry.

You are lucky you didn't get third degree burns.... Red sauce can kill.
