What You'll Need
- White vinegar
- Baking soda
- Dish detergent
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Scrape off any excess berry juice or pulp from the fabric with a spoon or butter knife.
- Create a cleaning solution of three parts water and one part white vinegar. Soak a cloth in the solution and dab the stain gently until it is saturated.
- Leave the solution on the fabric for five minutes to let it deeply penetrate the stain.
- Apply a sprinkle of baking soda onto stain.
- Work the baking soda into fabric with a damp cloth and let it sit for fifteen minutes.
- Generously lather the stained area with dish detergent and give crepe a thorough wash in sink.
- Rinse crepe out in cold water and place in the washing machine. Wash on a delicate cycle with cold water.
- Allow the crepe to air dry.
- Once dry, inspect crepe for any remaining berry juice. If needed, repeat steps 1-8.
Tips for Success
- Always test an inconspicuous area of the fabric with cleaning solution before applying to stain.
- For stubborn stains, use an enzyme-based pre-treatment before washing the crepe.
- Check the crepe's care instructions before washing.
