- If necessary create a cranberry juice stain spotting solution with 1 part laundry detergent, 1 part distilled white vinegar and 10 parts water.
- Apply the cranberry juice stain solution directly on to the cranberry juice stain.

Dried Cranberry Juice Stain: Heinz Distilled White Vinegar
- Create a cranberry juice stain spotting solution with 1 part laundry detergent, 5 part distilled white vinegar and 5 parts water.
- Apply the cranberry juice stain solution directly to the dried cranberry juice stain.
- Tamp the cranberry juice stained area with a brush.

Aged and Oxidized Cranberry Juice Stains: Borax
- Create a cranberry juice soaking solution with 2 ounces of Borax per 1 gallon of water.
- Soak the cranberry juice stained 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.
