Cleaning berry stains from your lingerie doesn't have to be a nightmare. With the right cleaning method, you can easily remove berry stains and keep your delicate items looking as good as new. Here are some tips to help you tackle those berry stains quickly and effectively.
Removing Fresh Berry Stains
If you've just spilled a berry juice, it's best to treat the stain as soon as possible. Begin by blotting up as much of the spillage as you can with a paper towel or clean cloth. Be sure to do this gently so as not to spread the stain further. Next, wet the area with cold water and apply a small amount of pre-wash stain remover. Gently rub in the stain remover, then leave it to sit for 15 minutes before rinsing with cold water.
Treating Older Stains
If you've neglected to treat the stain promptly, chances are it's dried into your fabric. In this case, you'll need to soak the garment in a mixture of one quart cool water, one tablespoon white vinegar, and one teaspoon mild dish soap. Let the garment soak for at least an hour before washing according to the care label.
Tips for Preventing Berry Stains
It's always better to prevent a stain than to remove one, so here are some tips to help you out:
- Always use a placemat when eating or drinking something that contains berry juice.
- Wash and dry your delicate items as soon as possible after wearing them.
- Be gentle with your delicate items and avoid excessive rubbing or scrubbing.
- Spot test any detergents or stain removers on a small, inconspicuous area of the garment before using on the whole item.
