Removing Pomegranate Stains From Fabric (Including Pomegranate Juice Stain Removal)

Step 1: Scrape off any excess pomegranate from the fabric.

Step 3: Apply liquid laundry detergent to the pomegranate stained area and let it soak in cold water for 15-30 minutes.

Step 4: Rinse with cold water.

Step 5: If no stain remains, wash as normal with either color bleach or chlorine bleach if safe for the fabric. If not, proceed to Step 6.

Step 6: Apply hydrogen peroxide (or oxygen bleach in paste form) to the stain, if safe for the fabric. Let sit for a few minutes and then rinse well. Then, follow Step 5 above.

Hint: Make sure the stain is gone after washing, but before you place in the dryer or you may set the stain. Repeat if necessary.
