Fresh Cranberry Juice Stain: Vaska Laundry Detergent

Dried Cranberry Juice Stain: Heinz Distilled White Vinegar
- Create a spotting solution with 1 part laundry detergent, 5 part distilled white vinegar and 5 parts water.
- Apply directly to the dried cranberry juice stain.
- Tamp with a brush.
- Let the solution penetrate for 10-15 minutes.
- Blot with a wet towel followed by a dry towel.
Aged and Oxidized Cranberry Juice Stains: Borax
- Create a soaking solution with Borax and water per instructions.
- Soak the garment in the borax solution for several hours or over night.
- Rinse with clean water.
Test for colorfastness before using any of the spotting solutions. Apply a small amount of the solution on a white towel, blot that part of the towel on a hidden part o the garment. Check for color transfer on to the towel.
When done with the stain removal process, always clean the entire garment as recommended by the care label. Never leave garments unclean after using spotting or cleaning products. Over time the spotting agent can discolor, or yellow, and weaken the material.
