How-To | Remove Pollen Stains

While flowers instantly delight us with their scent and beauty, pollen can make things messy in a minute. We’ve got strategies for removing the stains they leave behind in a flash.

Avoid touching the stained portion of the fabric or touching the pollen — the oil from your fingers can set in the stain. Instead, shake the item to allow loose pollen to fall away.

Next, use sticky tape and gently press against the pollen to remove without rubbing it in further.

Pretreat the remaining stain by applying Stain Solution directly to the affected area. Sprinkle a capful of All-Purpose Bleach Alternative directly on top of the solution. Using your finger or the Stain Brush work the paste into the fabric.

In a Wash Tub Basin or sink, prepare a bath of hot* water and 1 capful of All-Purpose Bleach Alternative. For delicate fabrics like silk or wool, use just cold water without All-Purpose Bleach Alternative. Repeat as necessary until the stain is no longer visible.

*All-Purpose Bleach Alternative can be used on washable fabrics except silk and wool. Use only cool or cold water on silk and wool.

Hand wash or machine wash with the Signature Detergent or appropriate detergent for the fabric. Hang to dry.
