When it comes to cleaning wildflower stains from bodycon dresses, the trick is to act as soon as possible. Fresh stains are much easier to remove than old and set-in ones. Start by brushing off any excess petals and then rinse area with cold water. This will help to remove the majority of the pigment and prevent the stain from setting any further.
Next, make a paste from a mild laundry detergent and warm water. Work the paste into the stained area and let it sit for 10-15 minutes before rinsing out. For more stubborn stains, you can add a few drops of white vinegar or lemon juice to the paste. If you have a color-safe bleach, try adding a few drops of that as well.
After the paste has had time to work its magic, rinse the area thoroughly with cold water. Then you can either hand-wash the dress, or machine-wash it if it is safe. Be sure to wash the dress on a gentle cycle and use a mild detergent. You may want to add a fabric stain remover, or even some baking soda, to cycle as well.
After washing, air-dry the dress. Don't forget to check the stain again after it is dry to make sure it has been removed. If the stain persists, you may want to repeat the cleaning process.
