[BlueBerry]

Which one of these berries is the most difficult to get out of cotton clothing: Strawberry, blueberry or raspberry

[mrscleannw]

Interesting question. I just ran my own test using a selection of 3 the frozen berries you mentioned below: blueberries, strawberries and raspberries.

I thoroughly ground in the berries into 3 separate sections of a white cotton towel. I let the stain sit on the towel over night.

Using the tips to remove berry stains http://www.mrscleanusa.com/en/cleaning-tips/stain-removal/berry-stains.html I rinsed the stains in very hot (boiling) water.

My findings:

- The Raspberry stain came out quickly and easily.
- Strawberry was a bit more stubborn than the raspberry stain, but came out fairly easily with the boiling hot water.
- Blueberry was the last to come out, and took a bit of extra attention. I was able to get it removed completely after about 45 minutes soaking in the hot water.

HI, I think Strawberry stains. Use this formula to remove it. --> just mix equal parts vinegar and water. You can use this solution on carpet by soaking up the stained area. Spray a mixture that has ½ vinegar and water on the affected area and leave it for 2 or 4 minutes. Carefully dab the affected are with a towel. Repeat the procedure until you see the desired effect.

Hope this will help.
Thanks,
