Celery Juice Stain Removal Guide

Celery juice stain removal becomes necessary when that freshly made glass of celery juice spills all over everything instead of going into our tummy.

Celery can be tasty and nutritious, but it is not something we want all over our carpet, upholstery or clothes.

When a celery juice stain occurs you get a very green or brown looking stain, depending on whether the celery has oxidized yet or not.

If you catch the stain early, and act quickly however, it does not need to be difficult to remove it.

Below are step by step instructions for removing celery stains from clothing, upholstery and carpet.

Celery Juice Stain Removal From Clothing

Step 1: Run the fabric, inside out, under the cold water to flush out as much of the celery juice as possible.

Step 2: Pretreat the stain with a laundry stain remover.

Step 3: Launder in the hottest water the fabric will allow to get out the stain from the celery, and either chlorine bleach if the fabric will allow it, or color bleach if not.

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

Hint: If the stain has oxidized and looks quite brown, before laundering you may want to consider presoaking the stain for a few hours. You can read more about presoaking stains here, I would suggest with an oxygen based bleach presoaker in this instance.

How To Remove Celery Stains From Upholstery

Step 1: Mix a solution of two cups cool water and one tablespoon dishwashing liquid.

Step 2: Using this solution, sponge the stain from the celery with a clean white cloth.

Step 3: Next, blot at the stain until the liquid is absorbed.

Step 4: Repeat steps 2-3 until the celery stain is removed from the upholstery.

Step 5: Now that the stain is removed you should get plain cold water and a new white cloth and sponge the area to remove the cleaning solution, and then blot dry.

Hint: Be sure to get the upholstery only as wet as necessary to remove the stain from the celery.
