When it comes to outdoor stain cleaning, pollen can be one of the most stubborn stains. However, there are a few tried and tested tips to ensure you're dealing with the stain in the best way possible:
- Act Fast: The quicker you treat stains, the easier it is to remove them. The longer you leave the pollen on your clothes, the more likely it is to set into the fabric, making pollen stain removal harder later on.
- Don't Rub Aggressively: It's tempting to rub the stain vigorously, but doing so can spread the pollen further into the fabric. Instead, gently blot the stain to lift off as much pollen as possible.
- Wash in Cold Water: Hot water may set the stain, so washing your clothes in cold or lukewarm water can help you avoid this. Pollen stains can usually be removed in lower temperatures if treated correctly.
- Always Follow Instructions: Check the care label on your clothes before washing them. Some fabrics may need a more delicate approach to avoid any damage during the stain removal process.
