How Do You Remove Dandelion Stains From Clothing?
Although adults tend to view dandelions with distaste, children often hunt for dandelions with gusto in hopes of gathering a fistful to present to a parent or loved one. As tiny hands pick long green stems, the sap that drips out of the severed stems can stain skin and clothing. Remove dandelion stains from clothing as quickly as possible and while the stains are still fresh because dandelion sap can be difficult to remove. Mix sodium percarbonate with hot water to form enough thick paste to work into the stained area. Lay the clothing out on the bath towel and rub the sodium percarbonate into the stain until you begin to see the stains lift. Leave the paste on the stain for 15 minutes and then rinse the fabric with warm water. Place the clothing in the washing machine and set the machine to a warm-water cycle. Add the appropriate amount of laundry detergent to the wash load and start the washing machine. Check for dandelion stains when you remove the clothing from the washing machine.
