Few things are more aggravating than gently brushing against a patch of wildflowers, only to discover that petals have left their mark in the form of an unsightly stain. Instead of resigning yourself to living with mess, follow these steps to quickly tackle that stain.

Step 1: Act Quickly

Time is of the essence when it comes to cleaning wildflower stains. As soon as you notice stain, work to start the cleaning process in order to prevent the stain from setting. This will make it much easier to remove the stain.

Step 2: Pre-Treat the Stain

Before washing your stockings, it is important to pre-treat the stain. Soak a sponge or cloth in a mixture of one part white vinegar and two parts cold water. Gently dab the stain with the cloth before allowing the vinegar solution to sit on the stain for approximately 15 minutes.

Step 3: Rinse With Cold Water

Run cold water on backside of the stained area, using your fingers to break up the stain. Be sure to use cold water, as hot water can set the stain and make it harder to remove.

Step 4: Wash With Mild Detergent

Using a mild detergent such as Woolite and cold water, scrub the stained area with your fingers. Do not rub the fabric together, as this can cause the stain to spread. Rinse thoroughly and then check for any remaining stains.

Step 5: Repeat if Necessary

If stain has not been completely removed after first wash, repeat the process until the stain is gone. Remember that time is of essence, so be sure to act as quickly as possible.

Conclusion

With a few simple steps, you can get rid of that pesky wildflower stain on your stockings. Time and patience are key, as well as a few household items. And for more stubborn stains, repeating process may be necessary.
