Kiwi Stain Removal Guide

Kiwi stain removal isn't something you think about too often, until that kiwi juice or fruit salad, containing kiwi, falls into your lap.

Fortunately, kiwi juice does not normally leave a stain that is too difficult to get out.

That is partly because it is light in color, so it doesn't show up to much on your clothing, or other fabrics and fibers such as upholstery and carpet.

However, the sooner you act to remove the stain the easier it will be to remove it, so act as quickly as possible for easiest stain removal results.

Below are step by step instructions for removing kiwi juice stains from clothing, upholstery and carpet so you can keep enjoying this tasty fruit.

Kiwi Stain Removal From Clothing And Other Washable Fabric

Step 1: Run the fabric, inside out, under the cold water to flush out as much of the kiwi 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, and either chlorine bleach if the fabric will allow it, or color bleach if not.

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

Removing Kiwi Juice 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 kiwi juice 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 kiwi juice stains are 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 kiwi.
