Tips
Sometimes you can scour the stains off with Comet, but if that doesn’t work go get a Magic Eraser, I think Mr. Clean makes them. If the stain is able to be gotten off at all, the eraser will take care of it.
You have to catch a stain like this really quickly to keep it from becoming permanent, but an enzyme cleaner like Oxyclean will take dark fruit juice stains out better than anything else. Follow the directions on your particular cleaner very carefully so you don’t do even more damage to the stained piece of clothing.
cut the pomegranate in quarters…place in bowl of cold water deep enough to cover the whole pomegranate…let soak 10-15 min. …de seed under water in the bowl…pour in strainer…easy… and no juice splattering everywhere…
The one thing that’s always worked best for me to get pomegranate stains or blueberry stains off my hands is baby wipes. You might have to use more than one or two of them, but they will get the stain off your skin. They work pretty well for removing hair dye too.
If you got the juice on something white, first pretreat the stain with detergent and let it sit for five or ten minutes. Then wash the garment in cold water with more detergent and half a cup of bleach. If some of the stain is still there, pretreat and wash the garment again. Don’t run the garment through the dryer until the stain is out; heat will set the stain permanently.
No really, I’m serious - you do the same thing with tea stains. If it’s something like a white shirt and you can’t get the stain out, you can always get some more pomegranate juice and just dye the whole shirt to be the color of the stain. Pour the juice into a bucket - not in the sink, the juice will stain it - and then soak the stained item in the juice for a few hours. Wash the item by itself in warm water with a little detergent on a long wash cycle, then dry it the way you usually do.
There is a wonderful product on the market called Le Blanc Linen Wash, it’s a bit pricey ($32.00 for 64oz.) but it works on every kind of fabric(especially linens, cottons, silks, vintage linens)where there is a stain (new or pre-existing) including pomegranate juice. And it can be used on colored or white fabrics. Very easy to use, wet the stain, put a few drops of Le Blanc Linen Wash on the stain, let it sit for 10 minutes and then put in the washer with a capful of the same Le Blanc and the stain will come out. It’s truly amazing cleaner.
