Candy Stain Removal Hints

Candy Stain Removal Hints

Candy stains can generally be removed by using a good pre-soak, and laundering in warm, sudsy water.  Never dry any garment in the dryer before you insure the stain is gone, as the heat from the dryer will set the stain.  If the stain persists after a general washing, presoak once again and add a few drops of ammonia to the presoak.  Allow to soak for 30 minutes, and rinse with cool water. Then, soak the garment in a solution of one quart warm water to one tablespoon of white vinegar for about an hour, rinse well, and launder per care label instructions.  Remove candy stains from carpeting by scraping up the excess with a spoon, and sponge with warm water.  Blot the stain with a white cloth until all evidence of the stain is gone.  If the stain persists, use a wet spotter mixed with a little white vinegar, and let stand for as long as it takes to remove the stain.  Rinse well with water to remove any trace of the cleanser, and blot until dry with an absorbent cloth.

  1. Mix one teaspoon of a mild ph balanced detergent (a mild non alkaline non bleaching detergent) with a cup of lukewarm water
  2. Blot
  3. Mix one third cup of white household vinegar with two thirds cup of water
  4. Blot.
  5. Mix one teaspoon of a mild ph balanced detergent (a mild non alkaline non bleaching detergent) with a cup of lukewarm water
  6. Blot
  7. Sponge with clean water
  8. Blot
Note: Always test an inconspicuous area for colorfastness, etc. before treating the exposed area. Also note that certain stains are permanent
