My kids love cherries! But because my girls are young, I remove the pits before serving them, which leaves my cutting boards, laminate countertops, and fingers covered in cherry stains. Also because my girls are young, I inevitably end up with cherry-stained clothing, mouths, dish towels, and more. Cherry stains everywhere!
“Just like red wine and many other berries, cherries contain tannin, a chemical that’s often used as an agent for fabric dyes,” says Becca Napelbaum, a cleaning expert for Handy. (Read: It’s notoriously hard to clean off.) And your first instinct — to rub out that darn spot — is totally wrong! “Never rub the stain, since that will force it deeper into the fabric,” Napelbaum says. Well then, how are you supposed to get it clean?!
With quickness, for starters. “The sooner you clean it up, the better!” says Napelbaum.
