How to Remove Cherry Juice Stains
Method 1: For fresh stains, sprinkle salt directly onto the stain (to absorb the juice) — dampen with water — then wash with soap.
Method 2: For dried cherry juice stains, rub with white vinegar → let sit for 5 minutes → rinse with water.
Method 3: Dissolve baking soda in water → scrub the stain. The final trick is also a clever one: For colored fabrics, wash in the following sequence: rub with concentrated salt water →water → 10% ammonia solution → detergent wash. For white fabrics, soak in bleach solution (3%-5% sodium hypochlorite) for 1-2 hours before rinsing with clean water.
Editor's tip: You can also try washing with party poppers for good results. Party poppers are available at most supermarkets.
