Strawberry Stains Set In....

I have an adorable outfit that received a couple of strawberry stains from my almost 1 year old! I have treated the outfit with Toddler Stain Remover and tried to hand wash and machine wash, but the stains are set in!!! Any suggestions to remove the strawberry stains?

What can I do next?

I have found that Shout Advanced (blue spray bottle) does a great job of getting out set in stains. I routinely use it on my 18 month old's clothing.

Try Shout advanced for set in stains. Let it soak for up to a week and then wash it! I just started using it and it got a very bad chocolate milk stain out of my sons shirt!

Good Luck

This may sound old fashioned (my mother and grandmother both did this), but I have tried it on occasions when my only other option would be to throw the outfit out. It has worked a couple of times.

Soak the stain with Zout or Shout or whatever, and then place it outside in the direct sunlight. Let it sit in the bright sun for several hours. You may need to go and move it around to follow sun patches in your yard. Then launder on hot with detergent. The sun kind of helps bleach and draw out the stain. An old granny remedy yes, but it has worked for me before. Good luck!

Hi M.. My 2 year old loves strawberries and blueberries! I have found that the best thing to remove these stains is Zout. It's s spray stain remover that I usually find at Walmart. When my daughter was younger, I would treat with Zout and then wash the outfit a couple of times to get all the chemicals out. Sometimes, I have to treat and let it sit and then treat again and wash. I also tend to use stain stick on the day it occurs and then treat with the Zout when I get around to washing it.

I hope that this helps!

A friend had me to use hand sanitizer when I dropped a cheery pit onto my white shirt. It helped it to bleed on through and kinda went away. I don't know if it's too late for yours, but you could try.

(Isn't it just frustrating to ruin a favorite outfit?)

Yikes! I hope this works. Windex! If not, you can soak it in "Era" detergent, (that got beet juice out once.) Spray and wash and let it set over night, then use Oxy-clean in the wash with HOT water. Tide pen. Try the Windex first - you might be amazed, I was!
Good luck and let us know.

Try Oxiclean. If this ever happens again with fruit stains, immediately put the stained clothing in boiling hot water, without soap. You will be amazed how fast the stain disappears!
