Getting out Cherry Stains
Usually when I wear a white shirt I eat spaghetti and get sauce all over it. This time I wore a white shirt and got cherry juice on it.
Of course we were traveling and the only clean shirts I had were buried in the trunk. And there's nothing quite like showing up at your in-laws with huge stains all over your shirt.
So I grabbed a baby wipe and cleaned it up as best I could. The stains weren't gone, but they were much lighter. When I washed the shirt I fully expected to see cherry stains on it. They had set for three days and I had no pre-treater for the laundry either.
But they were gone!
I had no idea that a baby wipe would prevent the stain from setting and it would come out in the wash. But hey, I like simple. And I really like that my shirt was not ruined.
Now where are the rest of those cherries...?

Wow, I had no idea a baby wipe would help treat stains! With a 1 year old son, I'm always dealing with stains. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteGood to know, those things are great for everything. If they can do cherries I assume they can also do blueberries. Oh the clothes we have ruined.
