Berries are an incredibly delicious fruit. However, when they come into contact with your cherished Hanbok, they can cause some pretty stubborn stains! Don't fret just yet, though - there are plenty of ways to ensure that those pesky berry stains don't permanently ruin your Korean traditional dress.

Start by soaking the stained area with a solution of white vinegar and cold water. Use equal parts of each. Let the material soak for 10-15 minutes, then rinse the spot with cold water. For tougher stains, use a soft-bristled brush and gently scrub the spot.
Mix three tablespoons of baking soda with one tablespoon of water to make a thick paste. Apply this paste to the stained area and let it sit for about 10 minutes. Take a damp cloth and lightly dab away the paste, using a gentle circular motion. Then, rinse the area with cold water.
Fill a sink or basin with cold, clean water and add 1/4 cup of laundry detergent and two cups of white vinegar (for a large load). Submerge the Hanbok and let it soak for up to 30 minutes. Gently swish the material around to help loosen stain. Rinse and hang it up to dry.
Never do laundry again. Save time for things you ❤️
