How To Remove Carrot Stains

Removing carrot stains and carrot juice stains from fabric, upholstery and carpet can become really important when your child spills their carrot juice all of the carpeted floor and chair.

Or perhaps you got a spot when you child flung that baby food all over the floor.

These spots are typically bright orange, or sometimes yellow, both of which can be difficult to remove.

The key for all of the suggestions below is to deal with the spots or spills as quickly as possible, since that can mean all the difference between removal and permanency.

How To Remove Carrot Stains From Clothing

Step 1: Scrape off any excess carrot from the fabric.

Step 2: Run the fabric, inside out, under the cold water to flush out as much of the juice as possible.

Step 3: Pretreat the stain with a laundry stain remover.

Step 4: Launder in the hottest water the fabric will allow to get out the stain, and either chlorine bleach if the fabric will allow it, or color safe bleach if not.

Hint: Make sure the spot is gone after washing, but before you place in the dryer or you may set it. Repeat if necessary.

Step 4: Next, blot at the solution until the liquid is absorbed.

Step 5: Repeat steps 3-4 until the carrot juice stain is removed from the upholstery.
