How can I clean fruit stains on white clothes ?
Is it possible to remove a red stain from pomegranate ?
What is the best way to remove stains from clothes ?
Whether it is possible to remove fruit stains from white clothes, depends on the type of fruit and on the clothing material.
Stains from some fruits can be removed easily, even if they are dark. Remove a stain from cotton may be more difficult.
Recommendations to clean a stain from clothes:
1. The most important thing is to don't let the stain dry.
2. You should keep a stain wet. Put some water on stain to dilute it.
3. Then you can put some detergent on it. Use only the one that will not dye or damage your clothes. If you don't have the special detergent for stain removal, you can use:
- baking soda
- hydrogen peroxide
- mixture of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide
- mixture of bleach with water (be careful, this is quite strong)
- white vinegar
- non-coloured soap foam
4. Let it react, at least for approx. 10 minutes.
5. Put your clothes to a washing machine and wash in the hottest water temperature recommended for the fabric.
From my experience it is possible to remove a red pomegranate stain from white clothes. But you have to start with a cleaning as soon as possible. Don't let the stain dry.
I rinsed it with water.
Then I put on a foam from hard soap on it.
In a few minutes, the stain changed its color from red to purple.
Then I washed it in washing machine.
