How do you remove cherry stains with alternative products
With HG stain away no. 1 removing cherry stains from clothes is a piece of cake. There are other products for tackling cherry stains. We list a few. We cannot guarantee that they work and you use these tips at your own risk.
1. Cherry stain removal from clothes with baking soda and lemon juice
Lemon juice helps with cherry stains. Remember to check the clothes are resistant to acid. Dribble some lemon juice on the stain. Then fill a bucket with warm to hot water. Add some lemon juice and a few scoops of baking soda. Leave the garment to soak for a few hours. You can also make a paste of baking soda and lemon juice and leave that to work on the stain. Then wash the garment.
2. Remove a cherry stain in clothes with ammonia
Do not use ammonia for delicate fabrics. For stronger fabrics you can fill a bowl with lukewarm water and ammonia and put the part of the stain in the bowl or apply it with a cloth to the stain. Then wash the garment.
3. Remove a cherry stain in clothes with shaving foam
Shaving foam is an unusual product for removing cherry stains from clothes. This can also be used on a fabric sofa. Apply the shaving foam to the stain and leave it to absorb for a while. Then wash the garment normally in the washing machine to remove the stain.
4. Remove a cherry stain in clothes with milk or buttermilk
Milk or buttermilk will not remove the stain. If the stain has been there for a while, you can leave the garment to soak in milk or buttermilk for a few hours. Possibly with a little added lemon juice. It fades the red colour, which makes it easier to remove the cherry stain from the garment.
