Step 1: Blot the Stain
Using a clean white cloth or paper towel, gently blot the berry stain as soon as it appears. Do not rub it in as this can cause the stain to set in even further.
Step 2: Scrub with a Mild Detergent
Mix a small amount of mild detergent, such as a gentle liquid soap, a few drops of white vinegar and a cup of cold water. Then, use a soft brush to scrub stained area with the mixture and allow it to sit for a few minutes.
Step 3: Rinse with Cold Water
Rinse off the detergent and vinegar solution with cold water, then blot the scrub with a clean white cloth to remove excess moisture.
Step 4: Apply Lemon Juice or White Vinegar
If the stain is still visible, try applying a mixture of equal parts of lemon juice and white vinegar directly to stain. Leave it to sit for 10-15 minutes, then rinse with cold water before blotting the area with a clean cloth.
Step 5: Treat with OxiClean or Other Stain Removers
If the stain is still present after the lemon juice and vinegar treatment, use a stain remover such as OxiClean according to the package directions.
Step 6: Wash
Once the stain is removed, wash the scrubs as usual.
