Start by doing some research. Different types of berries have different coloring pigments, so understanding type of stain you are dealing with will help you choose right cleaning method. Once you know what kind of stain you’re dealing with, you can gather the supplies you’ll need to clean it. If the stain is fresh, you’ll want to use an enzyme-based cleaner. If the stain has had time to set in, you may need something stronger like a pressure washer.
If you’re dealing with a fresh stain, start by wetting the area and pouring a generous amount of the enzyme-based cleaner onto the stain. Use a scrub brush or mop to work the cleaner into grass. Allow the cleaner to soak for about 10 minutes, then rinse it off with a garden hose.
If the stain is older, you may need to use a pressure washer. Start by spraying the stain with a mild solution of laundry detergent and water. Let the solution sit for a few minutes, then use the pressure washer on a low setting to remove stain. Keep the nozzle at least 12 inches away from the grass to avoid damaging the blades.
Once you’ve gotten rid of the berry stain, it’s important to apply an additional cleaner to prevent the stain from returning. A mild solution of laundry detergent and water should do trick. Wet the stained area and pour the solution onto the grass. Use a scrub brush or mop to work the cleaner into the grass, then let it sit for a few minutes before rinsing it off with a garden hose.
Berry stains can be a pain, but they don’t have to be permanent. With the right cleaning method and supplies, you can get rid of berry stains quickly and easily. Clean the area using either an enzyme-based cleaner or a pressure washer, then follow up with a mild detergent solution to prevent the stain from returning.
