Blueberry Stain on Clothing

RE: Blueberry Stain on Clothing By teachinmom (1) Contact My daughter used her new pink shirt as a napkin tonight when she had frozen blueberries. I sprayed vinegar on it and then dumped boiling water over it and it worked! I had to do it three times-each time it got lighter-but it eventually came completely out. Truly an amazing and natural way of getting blueberry stains out and saving money on clothing! Thanks! Posted on 03/29/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Blueberry Stain on Clothing By Jane (Guest Post) The white vinegar and boiling water worked like a charm. My stain had set for several hours as I didn't have any vinegar. I repeated the directions twice to get the stain entirely out! Thank you!

Poured the white vinegar on and blotted off with a paper towel and rinsed with hot water. Posted on 02/13/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Blueberry Stain on Clothing By Cathy (Guest Post) WOW! I just poured white vinegar on a fresh stain on my red cotton sweatshirt and the blueberry stain was gone before I even applied the water. Thanks for saving my favorite shirt.

It lifted a blueberry stain from my pink sweatpants. Thanks again. Posted on 12/17/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Blueberry Stain on Clothing By JoJo (Guest Post) This worked like magic. I couldn't believe it. My son smashed fresh blueberries into the sleeves of a beautiful cotton knit sweater. I put on the vinegar rubbed the stains gently with a toothbrush, let sit for a couple minutes while the kettle was coming to a boil. I poured the hot water over as suggested from about two feet up and literally watched the stains disappear before my eyes. Thanks for the great tip!

My 10 year old son dropped some juicy blueberries on my wife's bedcover (I gave him the blueberries)... I thought he and I were goners. Thanks for saving both our hides!

I just finished using this trick on a newly purchased consignment shop find - a soft 100% cotton white sweater that I got blueberry sauce on with 2nd wearing. Gently blotted and then scrubbed the stains with white vinegar using a toothbrush, and then poured a pot of boiling water through the fabric from a few feet above (use a step stool) the sweater fabric, over the sink. Worked wonderfully!! Thanks to all who recommended this method.

That's what I learned the hard way. allykat Posted on 11/04/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse : Blueberry Stain on Clothing By allykat (Guest Post) Stains don't come out with hot water though, because hot water locks in stains on clothing.

Sarah Posted on 10/20/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Blueberry Stain on Clothing By rubies44 (Guest Post) I wish I could say the blueberry stain on my son's yellow cotton shirt had come out completely with the vinegar and hot water method. I read all the feedback, and was quite hopeful (it was the first time he had worn the shirt). But after many trials over several hours, using two separate kettles of hot water, and then laundering, a dull greyish stain remains. Perhaps it is because I wasn't able to get to the stain right away, and it had set.

His beige cargo pants had stains all over. I tried Shout, and soaking them in OxyClean with hot water. Then I tried washing them...and some of the stains were still there. Then I found this site and tried the VINEGAR & BOILING WATER. Wow!! It worked like MAGIC! THANK YOU!!

A blueberry stain on a hot pink shirt I've worn twice. Thank heavens for the vinegar suggestion. Just kept at it and my shirt is saved. Thanks!

So I turned to the internet, and found your posting . . . took a few treatments with the vinegar, detergent and boiling water, but it appears that the stain has DISappeared, with no damage to the red shirt. Thank you!

The top is smocked and had a lot of material to absorb the stain. I repeatedly poured vinegar on the stains then ran hot water from the tap on my laundry tub onto the stain. Each time it got lighter. The vinegar apparently has a reaction with the blueberry. The stain gets more reddish purple when you apply vinegar and becomes an increasingly washed-out blue when rinsed with hot water. I was terrified of setting the stain with hot water, especially when cold water did almost nothing to reduce it. I am absolutely amazed by how well the vinegar and hot water trick worked!

After walking around for a few min's I felt something damp on my leg.. The blueberry juice was all over my pant leg. Light colored cotten pants. I tried the vinegar and boiling water and whoohoo the stain came out right away. This will be my number 1 stain remover forever.

Your suggestion worked FANTASTIC for removing the blueberry stain right before my eyes! Thank You!

She told me to look for a solution on the web and there was this tip vinegar and hot water. I'm amazed about all the thing you can find over the internet.. Thanks again! the stain is gone! Ruben Posted on 08/09/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Blueberry Stain on Clothing By kat (Guest Post) I was skeptical, but spraying on vinegar and then pouring over boiling water and what do you know? The blueberry stain is gone from my little boy's favorite outfit! Awesome! Thanks for the tip!

It looked like a bottle of blue ink fell on her. The dress was completely ruined. I tried everything in knew to do and in a last effort found Kristine's post of vinegar and boiling water. Wow! It's as good as new again. I can't believe it. Thank you so much. Posted on 08/06/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Blueberry Stain on Clothing By Kelly (Guest Post) A big thank you to Kristine!

Not thinking much about sitting on the ground while picking gallons of berries I realized after it was too late that I had stained my capri khaki's. After searching the web for a solution I came upon the fix, vinegar, boiling water and soap really did the trick. Tip, you do need to pour the boiling water on your garment from a few feet above. Not sure why, however it works. Thanks for saving the day with your tips. 8/2/08 Posted on 08/02/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Blueberry Stain on Clothing By Sarah B. (Guest Post) My 8 month old daughter spit up blueberry baby food on my new white cotton shorts. I tried the vinegar and boiling water, and was a little concerned when the stain had not come out by scrubbing it with the vinegar, but was amazed to watch it disappear as I poured the water on it! Very cool! Posted on 07/08/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Blueberry Stain on Clothing By Matt (Guest Post) Works on a tablecloth too! Thanks for the tip.. a couple applications of Vinegar and boiling water off the stove worked brilliantly!

How do I remove it? Posted on 06/22/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Blueberry Stain on Clothing By MurphTheJo. (Guest Post) I recently tried a stain remover recommended by a co-worker. Brand new ruined blouse. Got melted butter & cheese on it @ a pizza buffet. I had tried the spray removers 6-7 times with no luck. This stuff took it out the first try. It also removed a very dark stain from one of the light colored chairs in the office. It is called M-30. It comes in a small container like some of the hand cleaners. I found it at Dollar General.
