Fortunately, there are several methods you can use to remove wildflower stains from piqué fabric. Read on for a guide on how to get wildflowers out of piqué.
Removing Wildflower Stains from Piqué
The first step in removing these stains is to identify the type of wildflower they came from and what kind of dye it is. If possible, try to match the dye to a laundry product or stain remover that is designed to tackle it.
Once you have identified the type of dye and obtained the appropriate cleaner, you should begin by pre-treating the stained clothing item. Lay the fabric out flat and apply a generous amount of pre-treatment to each stain. Allow the pre-treatment to sit for several minutes before washing.
If you don't have any laundry pre-treatment handy, you can use a mild dish detergent instead. Mix a small amount of the detergent with warm water and pour it directly onto the stain. Use a soft cloth or sponge to gently rub mixture into the fabric. Let it sit for a few minutes before rinsing garment with cold water.
For stubborn stains that won't come out with pre-treatment or dish detergent, you can try spot cleaning with white vinegar. Soak a cotton ball in a mixture of equal parts white vinegar and water, then dab it onto the stain. Once again, let the solution sit for several minutes before washing item as normal.
Although it's always best to treat wildflower stains as soon as possible, these methods will work even on older stains. With a bit of patience and elbow grease, you'll be able to remove wildflower stains from your favorite piqué clothing items.
