Remove Orange Fruit Stains







Oranges are a healthy addition to your diet.


Oranges are a delicious citrus fruit that is rich in Vitamin C. An orange is a healthy addition to your diet, but especially juicy oranges can stain your clothing. If left unattended, you may have difficulty removing the stain, though stain removal is still possible. Use supplies from home to remove orange fruit stains and return your garment or other item to its pre-stained condition.


Instructions


1. Prepare your stain removal solution in a bucket.


Mix 1/2 tsp. of dish washing liquid with 1 tbsp. white vinegar and lukewarm water in a bucket. Soak the orange fruit-stained article in the solution for 15 minutes.


2. Cool water prevents the stain from setting.


Rinse the garment with cool water and lay it on a clean towel, with the stained area face up.


3. A sponge absorbs some of the stain.








Pour isopropyl alcohol onto a clean sponge. Sponge the stain, starting at the middle of it and working your way out. Rinse off the sponge, if necessary, and add more alcohol to it. Continue to sponge, removing as much of the orange fruit stain, as possible.


4. Wash the garment according to directions on the care label. Add color safe bleach to the wash machine to remove any last trace of orange fruit stain.
