Remove Cherry Stains, Black Cherry Stain And Cherry Juice Stains

Learning to remove cherry stains is important after someone drops a piece of cherry pie on their clothes, the couch or even the carpet.

When you get a cherry stain it can look bright red or almost purplish black in color.

No matter its color, you want it out quickly.

A black cherry stain, cherry juice stains, and other stains caused by cherry are easiest to remove if they are dealt with quickly, so they do not set.

That is not to say you can't remove cherry juice stains if they are old, but it does take more time, patience, and work.

Below are instructions for how to remove stains caused by cherries from fabric, upholstery and carpet.

How To Remove Cherry Stains From Fabric And Clothing

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

Step 2: Run the fabric, inside out, under the cold water to flush out as much of the cherry juice as possible.

Step 3: Apply liquid laundry detergent to the cherry 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.

Removing Cherry And Cherry Juice Stains From Upholstery

Step 1: Scrape off any excess cherry from the upholstery, or blot up any excess cherry juice, being careful not to spread the stain further.

Step 2: Mix a solution of two cups cool water and one tablespoon dishwashing liquid.

Step 3: Using this solution, sponge the stain from the cherries or cherry juice with a clean white cloth.

Step 4: Next, blot at the solution until the liquid is absorbed.

Step 5: Rinse with white vinegar, and blot with a clean white cloth.

Step 6: Repeat steps 3-5 until the stain is removed from the upholstery.

Step 7: Now that the stain from the cherries is removed you should get plain cold water and a new white cloth and sponge the area to remove the cleaning solution, and then blot dry.

Hint: Be sure to get the upholstery only as wet as necessary to remove cherry stains.
