Things You'll Need:
- Dull knife
- TIDE liquid (or powder) detergent
- Large pan
- Large plastic bin
-
Step 1
First take the clothing that has the stain on it, take the dull knife and scrape off any excess fruit that might be remaining on the clothes.
-
Step 2
Take the large pot and put water in it. Place it on the stove and bring it to a boil.
-
Step 3
After the water has boiled, turn off the burner, but leave the pot on that same burner. Then add your clothing item to the hot water. If it is NOT hot water approved, safe to place in hot water, then you can use cold. If you have to use cold water, then take that same pot, put water in it, and add lots of ice cubes to make it extra cold. Then place your clothing item in the cold water.
-
Step 4
Once you have let your clothing item with the stain on it sit for about 10 to 15 minutes, set a timer on your stove, then remove it from the water.
-
Step 5
Next take your TIDE detergent and rub it into the area that has the stain on it. More than likely it will already be difficult to even see where that stain was. Rub it in gently, and let it sit again for 10 to 15 minutes. Once again set your timer to make sure that you don't go past the 10/15 minutes of time.
-
Step 6
After you have done that, then place that clothing item in your large plastic bin to transfer it to your washing machine. Wash it (either on hot or cold water) on a normal cycle. By the time you take it out of the washer the fruit stain should be completely gone.
