How to Clean Cranberry Sauce Stains

Supplies You’ll Need

• A white towel or paper towel

Your Step-by-Step Guide to Clean Cranberry Sauce Stains

Step 1: Don’t wait! The key to any stain is treating it as soon as possible, and cranberry sauce is no different. Grab your supplies and get to it.

Step 2: Get up as much as possible. Before tackling the stain with your cleaning solution, get up as much as the sauce as possible. Gently scoop it up, careful not to rub it deeper into the fabric.

Step 3: Make your mixture of dish soap with water.

Step 4: Blot stain. Using a white cloth or paper towel, dab at the stain gently. Don’t use circular motions and rub it, or you might cause the stain to go deeper into the fiber.

Step 5: Repeat. That red sauce can be tricky to take care of! Repeat steps two through four as necessary, being sure to switch out the cloth when it is no longer white.
