Step 1: Soak Stain in Cold Water

Begin by soaking the stained area in cold water. If possible, use a sink or tub of cold water and let the item sit in it for up to an hour. This will help loosen the stain and make it easier to treat.

Step 2: Apply Detergent

Once the garment is finished soaking, make a solution of mild detergent and cold water. Then rub stained area of the fabric with solution using a soft cloth. Rub gently in circular motions, taking care not to spread the stain further. Let the solution sit on the fabric for a few minutes before rinsing.

Step 3: Rinse the Fabric

Rinse the fabric with cold water. Be sure to get rid of all detergent residue. Then, blot fabric with a clean, dry towel to remove excess moisture.

Step 4: Apply Spot Treatment

Apply a spot treatment like vinegar or baking soda to the stain, then cover it with a damp cloth. Allow the spot treatment to work on the stain for 20-30 minutes, then rinse and blot again.

Step 5: Launder the Item

Finally, launder item according to the instructions on the label. Check that stain has been entirely removed before putting the garment in the dryer. If the stain remains, repeat above steps.

Conclusion

With the right supplies and a little elbow grease, you can easily remove wildflower stains from your poplin garments. Just follow these simple steps and your garments will look good as new again!
