How to Remove Berry Stains

By Annie B. Bond
Berries are one of the eating pleasures of summer, and particularly wonderful if you can eat newly sun-kissed berries fresh from the vine. But when the delicious red juice drips onto your favorite white cotton blouse and leaves a vivid stain, the delight fades quite quickly!
Here is a great tip for successfully removing berry stains from clothes:
The secret material to remove berry stains is vinegar. Use straight white distilled vinegar; it is readily available in all supermarkets. While organic apple cider vinegar is the perfect vinegar for ingesting, it has a color and can stain fabric. Soak berry stains in straight white distilled vinegar. First rinse the stain well then rest the part of the fabric that is stained in a bowl of straight vinegar. Rinse. Launder as usual.

Also, the set - in residue from deodorant, I've not been able to remove, but no longer get that since I've switched away from the white solid stick deodorants. Either the more clear deodorants, the men's type (solid but not solid white) or any organic deodorant does not cause the problem. Also, it seems that plain body powder with baking soda does just as much good as deodorant! Not sure the deodorant actually works at all - try some experiments. You'll be surprised, and the clothing is way easier to wash!

Easy and works EVERY time on berry stains in clothing. Boil a medium to large pot of water. Place stained clothing in the bath tub with the stain up. Pour the boiled water - from a height of at least 3 feet - over the stain. All gone!

What suggestions do you have for removing berry stains from rubber? The top to my blender is stained from strawberries.
