How to Remove Fruit Juice Stains

A glass of OJ first thing in the morning is refreshing, but an orange juice stain is not. Take care of orange or apple juice stains with these on-the-go tips from Tide and get rid of fruit juice stains easily.

On-the-Go Tip:

Wet a cloth with warm water and blot the stain. If available, use Tide to Go Instant Stain Remover.

1. Remove the excess residue from the stain.
2. Press the tip of the Tide to Go Instant Stain Remover onto the stain several times to release some of the Tide stain remover solution.
3. Rub the tip gently across the stain to remove it. If necessary, add more Tide liquid detergent and continue to rub gently.
4. Important: If the treated area is exposed to direct sunlight, then wipe with a damp cloth or a napkin to remove excess solution.

• • Remove Excess:

    Rinse in cold water to dilute the stain.
  

• • Pour and Pre-treat:

    Pour Tide HE Turbo Clean Liquid directly onto the juice stain. Make sure you completely cover it and let set for 5 minutes. Pour from either the bottle or the cap.
  

• • Dose:

    You can also use the cap to ensure you use the right amount of detergent. Just fill it with the correct dose of Tide laundry detergent, and pour it into the laundry detergent dispenser if you have an HE washing machine, or directly into the drum before loading the clothes if you have a non-HE washing machine.
  

• • Load:

    Without rinsing off the laundry detergent, place the garment into the washer with other items. Leaving Tide laundry detergent on the stain will give your wash that extra boost of cleaning power.
  

• • Wash:

    Wash on a cold water cycle. Always check the instructions on the garment’s care label.
  

• • Unload:

    When the cycle is complete, unload the garments immediately.
  

If the stain persists after washing, repeat the previous steps before tossing in the dryer, as drying will set the stain.
