Easy ways to remove beverage stains like, fruit drinks, kids drinks, etc.
How to:
- As with any stain, it is important to treat the stain as soon as possible to remove the dye from fabric. Blot away as much of the moisture as possible with a white paper towel.
- With a washable garment or table linens, hold the fabric under a faucet with a running stream of cold water or soak in cold water.
- Next, sponge the stain with a bit of plain rubbing alcohol or non-sudsing household ammonia and rinse well. If the color is gone, wash as recommended on the care label.
- If some stain remains, then treat the stained area with a solvent-based stain remover spray or gel-like Zout. Allow the stain remover to sit on the fabric for at least fifteen minutes.
- Wash the garment or table linen as usual. Check the stained area before drying. If the stain is not gone, move to the next step.
- Still have a stain? Combine 2 parts hydrogen peroxide and 1 part Dawn Ultra Dish Soap. Saturate the stain well and allow to sit for about 30 minutes. Launder as usual.
