Beer stains are fairly easy to take care of. While the stain is still wet, blot up as much as you can with a clean white cloth or paper towels, never rub a stain. Mix a teaspoon of a good dishwashing detergent, such as Dawn, with a cup of warm water. Spoon some of this detergent mixture onto the stain, and allow to stand for a few minutes. Rinse the stain with a little warm water, and carefully blot dry. If the stain is stubborn, mix one part of white vinegar to two parts water, and repeat the previous steps. If the stain is on clothing, always rinse the stain in cool running water from the back of the stain, and treat the stain as you would carpet. Vinegar can bleach fabric, so be sure to rinse right away, and use only with stubborn stains. Remember, the dark lager beers will cause the worst stain due to its dark coloring.
JUICE STAIN REMOVAL
Removing juice stains can be accomplished by quickly rinsing with cool water. Don't use detergent on the stain - it will set it and make it impossible to remove. Instead, use white vinegar and blot to remove. Clear fruit juices, such as grapefruit, orange, or apple can be removed by blotting out as much of the juice as you can, and then rinsing with cool water. If needed, use a sponge and white vinegar to clean the spot, and then use a stain pre-treater, such as Shout, and rinse, and blot dry. If the stain persists, use a digestant enzyme paste on the stain, and let stand for up to an hour, but don’t let it dry. Rinse. Don't apply a digestant enzyme cleaner to silk or wool. On silk or wool, these are best cleaned by A Rose 4 U professional.
MILK STAIN REMOVAL
Milk stains can be removed from by quickly blotting them up with cool water as promptly as possible. Work a small amount of undiluted liquid detergent into the stain, rinse and blot dry. If the spill is large, cover the stain with a white cloth and squirt cool water and call A Rose 4 U specialist to remove all the stain and eliminate the possibility of sour milk odor.
SODA POP STAIN REMOVAL
Soda pop can be removed by using hydrogen peroxide that is mixed at the ratio of 1/4 cup hydrogen peroxide to 3 cups of water. Using a spray bottle, spray on and let stand for 10 – 15 minutes. Rinse with 1/4 cup of white vinegar added to 3/4 cup of cold water, rinse thoroughly and blot dry.
TEA STAIN REMOVAL
Tea stains can be removed by dipping a sponge in white vinegar and applying to the stain. If the stain persists, rub with salt. Rinse and blot dry.
