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:

  1. Mix together one cup of warm water with one tablespoon of mild detergent.
  2. Dip a soft cloth in the mixture and gently dab the wildflower stain.
  3. Blot the area with a towel until stain is removed.
  4. 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.
  5. If the stain is still there after an hour, saturate the stained area with oxygen bleach and let it sit for 15 minutes.
  6. Rinse the area with warm water and repeat the process as needed.
  7. Finally, wash overalls as usual, then hang to dry.
