 How to Clean Wildflower Stains from Overalls 
  Before you start, ensure you pre-treat any difficult stains with a stain remover or pre-treatment laundry spray. Then, follow these steps: 
  -  Mix together one cup of warm water with one tablespoon of mild detergent. 
-  Dip a soft cloth in the mixture and gently dab the wildflower stain. 
-  Blot the area with a towel until stain is removed. 
-  If the stain persists, mix together white vinegar, salt, and borax until it forms a paste. Rub the paste into the stain and let it sit for an hour before washing. 
-  If the stain is still there after an hour, saturate the stained area with oxygen bleach and let it sit for 15 minutes. 
-  Rinse the area with warm water and repeat the process as needed. 
-  Finally, wash overalls as usual, then hang to dry.
