Removing Fresh Wildflower Stains
Begin by gently brushing away any excess dirt and pollen from the surface of the fabric. Then, hold the stain under cool running water for several minutes to flushing out the stain. Be sure to use cold water, as hot water will cause the proteins in stain to bind to fabric.
Next, make a paste using a blend of one part soap and three parts baking soda. Rub the paste into stain using a soft cloth or sponge. Then, allow paste to sit on the stain for several minutes before rinsing clean with cold water.
Soaking Wildflower Stains
If the wildflower stains are still present, try soaking them for 30 minutes in a mixture of 2 gallons of cold water and 1/4 cup of white vinegar. After soaking, rinse thoroughly with cold water and then proceed with normal laundry cycle.
Using Bleach Safely on Wildflower Stains
If stain persists, treat it using a bleach-safe detergent. For best results, apply the detergent directly to the stain and allow it to sit for several minutes before washing. Bleach-safe detergents are specifically formulated to work safely with bleachable fabrics without discoloring or damaging them.
Stain Removal Tips
- Be sure to treat wildflower stains as soon as possible - longer they sit, harder they are to remove.
- For colored fabrics, try spot-treating the affected area with a color-safe bleach.
- Always read and follow the instructions on the garment’s care label before treating it.
Conclusion
Wildflower stains can be stubborn, but with the right approach, they can be quickly and safely removed from tops. By following the tips above, you can keep your favorite tops looking as good as new.
