Soft Drink Stain Cleaning Tip
Soft drinks cause stains that can be colorless, yellowish, reddish, brownish and that darken with age. They contain tannin, sugar, vegetable coloring, flavoring and fruit extracts.
1. Apply cold detergent solution, blot.
2. Apply ammonia solution, blot.
3. Apply vinegar solution, blot.
4. Apply pressure to the spot with a spatula or the back of a tablespoon to work spotting solution deep into spot. DO NOT SCRUB as this may cause nap distortion of the fiber.
5. Rinse with water, blot until dry.
AMMONIA 1 Tbls. clear household ammonia in 1/2 cup water. Always pre-test.
CAUTION: Ammonia will "set", that is make permanent, stains on natural fibers like wool and silk but may help in stain removal from other types of fibers.
DETERGENT 1-2 drops colorless, mild detergent or dishwashing liquid in 1 cup lukewarm water.
ENZYME DETERGENT Mix enzyme detergent per instructions on package and allow to remain on stain recommended time. Do not overwet.
CAUTION: Enzymes can damage natural fibers like wool. Use with care or call us.
VINEGAR 1/3 cup white household vinegar in 2/3 cup water.
(Dry cleaning solvent contains volatile organic compound. Use carefully in strict accordance with manufacturers' instructions. Use in well ventilated space and avoid products containing perchlorethylene.)
