Gather Your Supplies
The first step in removing a berry stain from your dashiki is to gather your supplies. You’ll need white vinegar, laundry detergent, cold water, and a mild spotting solution such as Shout or a professional dry cleaning product.
Soak the Stained Area
Mix one cup of white vinegar and one tablespoon of laundry detergent in a bowl of cold water. Submerge the stained area of the dashiki and let it soak for at least 30 minutes.
Scrub Out Stain
Once the spot has been soaked for at least half an hour, it’s time to scrub out the stain. Take a clean toothbrush and gently scrub the stained area in a circular motion. Be sure to use a light pressure when you’re scrubbing, as excessive scrubbing can damage the fabric of your dashiki.
Rinse and Dry the Spot
Once all of the stain is removed, rinse area with cold water and then pat it dry with a clean, dry cloth.
Treat the Stain
If stain is still visible after rinsing, you can treat it with a mild spotting solution such as Shout or a professional dry cleaning product. Follow the instructions on the product’s label carefully, and if the stain still persists, consider taking the dashiki to a professional cleaner.
Conclusion
Cleaning a berry stain from a dashiki doesn’t have to be difficult. With a few simple steps and the right supplies, you can get the spot out quickly and easily. Good luck!
