Fortunately, there are several easy methods that you can follow to get rid of wildflower stains from calico fabric. These methods are quick and efficient and can be used to remove stubborn wildflower stains without damaging the fabric.
Method 1: Try Soap & Water
One of the easiest ways to remove wildflower stains from calico fabric is by using soap and water. This method works best if the stain is fresh and hasn't had time to set. To use this method, first mix a few drops of liquid soap with half a cup of warm water in a spray bottle.
Once you have prepared the mixture, spray it directly onto the stained area. Then take a clean cloth or soft brush and rub the stained area gently. After that, rinse the area with cold water and repeat the process until the stain is completely removed.
Method 2: Use Lemon Juice & Table Salt
Lemon juice and table salt are also a great way to remove wildflower stains from calico fabric. Start by mixing equal parts lemon juice and table salt in a bowl. Then dip a soft cloth into the solution and dab the stained area gently. After that, take a clean cloth and blot the area to absorb excess liquid and then rinse the area with cold water.
Method 3: Try Baking Soda
If the above two methods didn't work, then try using baking soda to remove wildflower stains from calico fabric. For this method, mix two tablespoons of baking soda with two tablespoons of water in a bowl. Once the mixture is ready, apply it on the stained area and let it sit for about 20 minutes. Then take a soft brush or cloth and rub the area gently before rinsing it off with cold water.
Method 4: Use Vinegar & Baking Soda
Vinegar and baking soda are great for removing wildflower stains from calico fabric. Start by mixing equal parts vinegar and baking soda in a bowl. Then dip a soft cloth into the mixture and dab the stained area gently. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes before rinsing it off with cold water. After that, take a clean cloth and blot the area to absorb any excess liquid.
These are some of the easy methods that you can follow to get rid of wildflower stains from calico fabric. Keep in mind that quicker you act, the better the results will be. Also, test out the cleaning solution on an inconspicuous part of the fabric first to make sure it won't damage fabric.
