Using Baking Soda & Hot Water
One of the most effective ways of removing berry stains from the bottom of clothing and shoes is by using baking soda and hot water. This method requires minimal effort and can usually have the stain gone in no time.
To start, mix a tablespoon of baking soda with warm water until it forms a thick paste. Take an old toothbrush or an old rag, dip it in the paste and use it to scrub the stain in a circular motion. Continue to scrub until you notice the stain has lightened. Once the stain has started to disappear, rinse fabric with cold water and repeat steps as necessary.
Removing Stubborn Stains with Vinegar & Dish Soap
For more stubborn stains that don't come off easily with baking soda, try combining vinegar and dish soap. This solution will help break down the stain and make it easier to remove.
Mix equal parts white vinegar and dish soap in a bowl. Dip a sponge into the solution and then use it to scrub the stain in a circular motion until there's no sign of it. Once finished, rinse the area with cold water and repeat the process as necessary.
Final Touches: Washing Machine & Drying
Once the stain has been treated and removed, it's time to throw clothing in the washing machine. Make sure to check the care label of the clothing before washing it. If the clothing is machine-washable, follow instructions given and wash clothing with cold water. If the clothing is not machine-washable, then hand-wash the clothing with cold water instead.
After the clothing has been washed, dry the clothing in the sun or tumble dry it on low heat. To further ensure that the stain is completely gone, always air dry the clothing on a flat surface in direct sunlight.
Conclusion
Berry stains can be hard to get out of clothing and shoes. With these simple cleaning tips, you'll be able to remove those pesky stains in no time. Just remember to always use cold water and never put the clothing in dryer until the stain has been completely removed.
