One of the worst things that can happen as you enjoy your meal is when cherry juice drips into your clothes and creates a stain. Believe me, getting this removed is not a hard thing to do. Continue reading to know how to get cherry juice out of clothing.

Removing Cherry Juice from Clothes with Stain Remover

There are many ways in which you can remove cherry juice from your clothes, and the first one is with the use of a trusted stain remover.

In this process, we will mainly be using stain remover as a pre-treatment solution to remove the stain on the cloth easily. Check out the list, and make sure to prepare them before you start doing the instructions.

Things to prepare

• Dull knife
• White cloth
• Coldwater
• Stain remover
• Soft-bristled brush
• Hot water (advisable temperature for fabric)
• Laundry detergent
• Bleach (chlorine or oxygen-based)
• Basin
• Warm water

Instructions

1. To start with this process, the first thing you need to do is get rid of any excess stain on the affected area, whether solid or liquid. For solid stains such as cherry bits, you need a dull knife to lift them off the cloth. On the other hand, liquid stains need to be blotted with a clean white cloth to remove excess juice.
2. Once you’ve removed some of the stains, directly place the wrong side of the stained area under the faucet. Let the cold water run and remove some of the stains. Once the area’s completely wet, apply stain remover on the stained area as a pre-treatment. Use a soft-bristled brush to rub the area and help remove the stain gently. Let it sit for approximately 15 minutes before rinsing it out.
3. The next step is to wash the cloth with the warmest water temperature suitable for the cloth fabric mixed with a heavy-duty laundry detergent. Do not dry the item if there is still a stain visible on the cloth.
4. To make sure that there is no red dye left on your cloth, it’s recommended to bleach the item. You can use chlorine bleach for white cotton or linen clothes for this added step. For synthetic white and colored fabrics, you need to use oxygen-based bleach—mix 6 cups of water with one tablespoon of bleach in a clean basin. Put your cloth on the basin and leave it for 30 minutes before rinsing and drying.

 

Removing Cherry Juice from Clothes with Ammonia

Another effective way to get rid of cherry juice stains from clothes is by using ammonia, vinegar, and rubbing alcohol. This is a process that the University of Illinois Extension highly recommends.

It works well for fresh stains and small stained areas. Just be careful to check if the fabric of your clothes can handle ammonia, vinegar, and alcohol.

Things to prepare

• Sponge
• Lukewarm water
• Dish soap
• White cloth
• Sponge
• White vinegar
• Rubbing alcohol

Instructions

1. Before everything else, you need to create a solution with two cups of water, a teaspoon of dish soap, and one tablespoon of ammonia. Grab a sponge and gently apply the solution to the stained area. Let it sit for two minutes before blotting it out with a clean white cloth. Do this until you’ve removed a majority of the stain.
2. The next step is to mix another solution with two cups of water and a tablespoon of dish soap and white vinegar. This solution will help break down the stain and make it easier to remove altogether. Use a clean sponge to apply the solution to the stained area and let it sit for two minutes before blotting it out with a clean white cloth.
3. If a stain is still visible on the cloth, grab a clean sponge and rub alcohol on the stained area. Keep on rubbing until there is no stain left on the cloth. Once you’re done, use a clean white cloth to absorb all the liquid in the fabric and wash it like you regularly do.

 

Removing Dried Cherry Juice Stains from Clothes

One of the worst things that can happen is the stain to set and solidify on your clothes.

Cherry juice can be pretty hard to remove when it dries, and a stain remover may not be enough to do the trick. For this kind of stain, you will need a whole lot of help, and here’s how to do it.

Things to prepare

• Vinegar or lemon juice
• Soft-bristled brush
• Dull knife or spoon
• Coldwater
• Laundry detergent

Instructions

1. To begin with this process, the first thing you need to do is eliminate all the excess stains on your clothing. Since it’s dried out, the cherry juice has already solidified, so what you need is a dull knife or a spoon to scrape it out. Remove as much as you can to make it easier to get rid of entirely later.
2. After scraping off the excess stain, the next thing is to use vinegar or lemon juice as a pre-treatment. These natural acids will help break down the stain faster since it has already been set on the cloth.
3. Let the pre-treatment sit for approximately 5 minutes before rinsing it out. Hold the cloth inside out directly, place it under the faucet and let the cold water rinse the stained area. Once it’s all rinsed out, rub the area with your preferred laundry detergent before washing it like you usually do.
4. When washing the clothes, use the hottest temperature that won’t damage the fabric. Ensure no stain is left before drying it out since the stain can be set. If there is still a visible stain, repeat the whole process with the vinegar or lemon juice until you don’t see a stain anymore.

 

Removing Cherry Juice Stains from Upholstery

Aside from knowing how to remove fresh and dried cherry juice stains from clothing, another vital thing you should also know is how to remove this type of stain from Upholstery material.

The following instructions can also be used for your carpets at home. Without further ado, here is a list of what you need to prepare for the process and the step-by-step instructions below.

Things to prepare

• Dull knife or spoon
• White paper towel or clean white cloth
• Dish soap
• Lukewarm water
• Sponge or white cloth
• Vacuum
• Oxygen-based bleach or hydrogen peroxide
• Eyedropper

Instructions

1. Before we start the process, you need to remember that you should not wet the stained area too much as excessive water may cause some damage to the material. The first thing to do here is remove any excess solid stain on the material by scraping it off with a dull knife or a spoon. Do not rub the material since it may help set the stain and make it harder to remove.
2. Next, absorb some of the stains using a paper towel or a clean white cloth to blot them out. Start working from the edge of the stained area to the center to avoid spreading the stain. Make a mixture solution with two cups of lukewarm water and a teaspoon of dish soap. Use a sponge or a clean white cloth to apply the solution to the stained area. Keep on repeating until the stain is obliterated.
3. Once you’ve made sure that there is no more stain, rinse the area by using a clean white cloth to blot clean water and get rid of any dish soap left on the material. After you finish, let it air dry and use a vacuum to help remove any residue left on the material.
