How to remove strawberry stains

Removing fresh strawberry stains on clothes, along with other types of fresh fruit, is very easy. Some water and a bit of Persil Bio laundry detergent should do the trick without any hassle. You can do this with your hands, or by using a spoon to gently scrape away any mushy fruit.

Strawberry stains are tannin stains, which don’t respond well to natural soap. Strawberries are an irresistible and nutritious treat. Unfortunately, while a juicy strawberry is a refreshing fruit to snack on, strawberry juice can leave behind a stubborn stain if it gets on your clothes.

Step 1: Rinse any excess strawberry liquid or juice from the fabric, and flush the stained area with cool water, being careful not to spread the stain further. Step 2: Make a solution of half a teaspoon of liquid laundry detergent, mixed with a tablespoon of white vinegar, and a quart of warm water.

Go for the Cold Water

When tackling a stain, always start with cold water especially on stains of unknown origin. Hot water can set protein stains like milk, egg or blood, cooking the protein into the fibers. Hot water works best on oily stains like mayonnaise or butter.

Soak for 15 minutes in mixture of one quart lukewarm water, one-half teaspoon liquid hand dishwashing detergent and one tablespoon white vinegar. Rinse. Sponge with rubbing alcohol, using light motions from center to edge of stain. Soak for 30 minutes in one quart warm water with one tablespoon enzyme presoak products.
