Strawberries are an irresistible and nutritious treat. Unfortunately, while a juicy strawberry is a refreshing fruit to snack on, strawberry juice can leave behind a stubborn stain if it gets on your clothes. If you drip juice on your clothes while eating or preparing strawberries for a recipe, don't despair. Knowing the right way to get strawberry stains out of clothes can prevent you from having to throw away ruined garments.
Step 1
Blot the stain immediately with paper towels or a clean white cloth. Don't rub or use a linty towel as this may make the stain worse. Rinse the stain with cool water to get off any excess that you can.
