Boiling water against raspberry stains

If you just left a fresh berry mark on your favorite white T-shirt, use boiling water. Stretch the fabric over an empty container and slowly pour hot water through the material. Do not try to wipe the stain off afterwards. When the clothes have cooled down, wash them as usual. After washing, not a trace of dirt will remain.

To enhance the effect of hot water, sprinkle baking soda on the dirty area of the fabric and wait ten minutes until it is absorbed into the material. Then use boiling water as in the previous method.

Hot water does a great job of removing stains from berries, fruits and vegetables with red juice. It will help get rid of raspberry and currant stains, and will save fabric after tomatoes and beets.

Treatment with boiling water is not suitable for colored clothing. It may fade due to hot water.

Useful tips

When washing, it is important to renew your laundry without compromising its quality. A white T-shirt with bleach can easily be washed with stale raspberries, but it is not suitable for regular use as it changes the structure of the fabric over time.

To safely wash colored and white clothes, here are a few guidelines to follow:

The selected recipe should be tested in a low-impact area before use.
Lightly colored items may become discolored.
If you don't wet the stain, place plastic wrap or a thick folded cloth underneath it so that the dissolving dirt drips onto the towel rather than onto the bottom of the sweater.
Before treating, wet the stain and the area around it with water.
To safely remove old debris from fabric using folk remedies, repeat the procedure 2-3 times.

It is impossible to remove perennial raspberry stains using special and folk remedies without damaging the fabric, so try not to let the berries soak in.

Folk remedies for removing fresh dirt

To remove raspberry stains, use the following methods:

Traces of fruits and berries are removed with a mixture of soap and milk. Mix liquid or bar soap with water until completely dissolved, then pour milk into the mixture. Moisten a cotton pad with the resulting solution and wipe the dirty area several times. Afterwards, wash the item.
Table salt effectively combats fresh stains. Add a little water to it until a thick paste forms. After this, gently wipe the desired area. Don't wash off the salt. After 30 minutes, try removing the stain with laundry soap.
Wipe off the dirt with a mixture of salt and water. Then dip the clothing in a solution of ammonia and cold water. The main thing is to maintain proportions. Just one teaspoon of alcohol is added to a liter of water.

Milk, salt and ammonia are suitable only for white fabrics. Colored material may lighten, causing streaks.

We use boiling water

Simple boiling water will help remove a fresh raspberry stain. It is worth remembering that contamination can be removed in this way if no more than an hour has passed since the trouble occurred. To do this, you need to completely soak the item.

Take a deep bowl (bucket) onto which you need to pull the soiled clothes so that the spot with the stain is in the center. Next, the item is poured with boiling water.

This method is used with caution if you need to wash colored items, since they can fade under the influence of boiling water.

Washing colored and black clothes

The best way to wash colored material is to use glycerin. Mix 30 grams of glycerin and 1 beaten egg yolk. The mixture is applied in a thick layer. After 8 hours, wash the fabric in warm water.

Glycerin is suitable for washing black clothes. Mix the substance with wine alcohol in equal parts, then apply to the front and back of the stain. Let it sit for a few hours and then wash your clothes.

Furniture and carpet cleaning

Using a white cloth or paper towel, immediately after contamination, you should try to remove as much juice as possible from the raspberries. If the fruit has been crushed on the carpet or furniture, it is worth eliminating the bulk of the remaining berries.

If the necessary components for traditional methods, as well as professional stain removers, are not at hand, a large amount of ordinary table salt is applied to the stain, which will take up the bulk of the juice.

Also prepare a solution consisting of a teaspoon of any detergent and two glasses of liquid. The resulting mixture is applied to the stain with a sponge, after which the area is first treated with a damp cloth and then wiped dry.

Another method involves using ammonia. The composition in the amount of one teaspoon is diluted in two glasses of water and the contamination is treated with the resulting mixture. Next, dry the stain with a clean cloth or paper towel.

After using ammonia, the room in which the item was processed must be ventilated.

Removing old raspberry stains

Temperature changes will help cope with severe pollution. Place the dirty clothes in a container and then fill it with water. First, pour boiling water over the stain, and then soak the clothes in cold water for 10 minutes. Do not rub the dirt or wring out the fabric, as the item will be damaged. Clothes are washed by hand or in a machine.

A mixture of vinegar and lemon juice can help remove old stains. Make a 1:1 solution and soak a cotton pad in it. Wipe the dirty area and leave for 5 minutes until the stain lightens. After this, you need to rinse your clothes. Wipe the dirty area on the fabric until the stain completely disappears.

Another method that is suitable for removing traces of raspberry juice is citric acid. It is necessary to wash the item in cold water, and then soak it in the solution. 40 grams of citric acid are diluted in 1 liter of water. The clothes are soaked for an hour, after which they are thoroughly rinsed and washed.

Home methods

Milk and soap

Milk can not only be drunk or added to coffee. It works well in removing fresh berry stains.

How to wash:

Fill a basin with water and dilute soap in it.
To do this, pour liquid soap or hold a piece of solid soap there.
Pour milk into a bowl.
Place a dry cotton pad under the stain.
Wet the other disc generously in the basin.
Do not wring out, place on the stain and press.
Remove the disc, wring it out and wet it again.
Rub it onto the stain until completely clean.
Wash the item.

Salt

There are two ways to remove raspberry stains with salt.

Method 1

Salt can be found in every person's kitchen. Not a single dish can be prepared without it. In addition, salt can remove almost any stain. It deals with berry stains especially easily.

How to wash:

Place salt in a bowl and add a few drops of water.
Mix until smooth.
Apply the mixture to the stain.
Distribute and massage the problem area.
Leave for 30 minutes.
Rinse off the salt with warm water.
Wash the area with laundry soap and rinse.

Method 2

Cover the entire surface of the stain with salt.
Leave for 10 minutes. At this time, the salt will absorb the raspberry juice.
Remove the salt from the fabric and rinse the item in water with 2 drops of ammonia.

The first method works on both new and old stains. The second is for raspberry juice that has not had time to dry.

Boiling water

The most economical and fastest way to get rid of berry stains is boiling water. Unfortunately, it only saves from fresh dirt that has not had time to dry. The method is very simple, even a child can handle it.

How to wash:

Stretch the stained fabric over a deep container so that the crimson mark is in the middle.
Bring the water to a boil.
Once it boils, remove from heat and pour over berry stain.
Wait for the item to cool completely.
Wash as directed on the label.

Under no circumstances should you wash a stain immediately after boiling water. This will cause the fabric to stretch and become unusable. Also, too hot water can damage some fabrics and ruin the color. For example, wool shrinks greatly from boiling water.

Glycerin and yolk

Almost everyone has eggs in their refrigerator, and glycerin is available in grocery stores. There shouldn't be any problems with the ingredients.

How to separate the yolk from the white? There are several ways, choose the one that suits you:

Break the egg into the separator, holding it over the container. The white will spill and the yolk will remain in the separator.
Break the egg into a container and separate the yolk using a vacuum separator. If there is no special device, use a plastic bottle.
Break the shell with a knife and pour the yolk from one half to the other. The whites will drip into the sink or bowl. You can pour several times until it is completely separated.
The easiest way is to break an egg into a bowl and remove the yolk with your hand, being careful not to damage it.

A mixture of yolk and glycerin removes old berry stains. The advantage of this method is that the fabric does not deteriorate or lose color.

How to wash:

Mix 1 yolk with 30 g of glycerin and stir until smooth.
Rub the mixture into the berry trail from the inside out.
Leave for 2-3 hours.
Wash the problem area with warm water.
Wash as usual.

Mix it with vinegar in a 1:1 ratio.
Dip a cotton pad into the mixture and apply it to the berry stain.
Leave for 2-5 minutes.
Rinse the item well.
If the stain is not completely gone, repeat the steps.
If the raspberry stain is too old, rub it with lemon for 1-3 minutes.

Wine spirit

Alcohol enhances the work of the methods described above. If you mix wine alcohol with glycerin, the effectiveness will increase.

How it works:
