Ice Cream Stain Removal From Clothing

Here are some tips for ice cream stain removal. Of course, part of determining how to remove these stains depends on what flavor the ice cream is.

Below I've gathered a couple suggestions and a video showing various methods for removing these stains. There are several ways that can work, so if one method fails just try another.

First, here are some suggestions for using household items for removing ice cream stains:

• Rubbing alcohol - soak for 30 minutes, rubbing the stain every five minutes


• Liquid dishwashing soap - soak for another hour


• Add ammonia to the washing machine


• Do NOT add chlorine bleach if you add ammonia, because bleach and ammonia together create a toxic gas


• Make sure that the stain is completely removed before drying it, otherwise the heat from the dryer can set the stain.

My Method For Different Ice Cream Drips & Spills: Shout Advanced Spray

by Leah

My daughter has been working in an ice cream parlor for the past few months. They serve about 20 different flavors, and she encounters her share of drips and smears on her white uniforms.

When she gets home she pretreats these spots with Shout Advanced spray and hangs them up.

The Shout really breaks down the stains right away, and I believe it makes the difference in removing the them in one washing.

When I do a load of whites I just toss them in, along with Clorox 2 and detergent, usually ERA. They come out really clean and white.

I have used different forms of Shout for a number of years, but find the Advanced to be the best for removing food and grass stains.

Most of the time you can leave it on the garment for several days before washing which really works out well, as now that my kids are older the washer is not being used every day!
