Default Removing pomegranate stains

This is probably somewhat off-topic, but I've been searching through
other boards and sites and can't find a solution to this problem. I cut
through a pomegranate earlier today, and the juice squirted all over
the place and onto my pretty white kitchen curtains. Does anyone here
know how to get rid of pomegranate stains? I'm beginning to think
there may not be an effective method of stain removal because I read
that pomegrante juice is often used to dye clothes!

sorry that is so funny, my wife recently got into pomegranates, and i
am noticing purple stains all around our house. There are even stains
on our light switches. I swear I am living with a 5 year old. Not
sure what to recommend with your curtains.

Someone found that pet stain remover works also on pomegranante juice,
but I never tried it.

Default Removing pomegranate stains

There is a powder in a plastic pail sold at flea markets (sorry, don't
know the name) but you see them demoing it on carpet to get stains out.
I use it and it does wonders. You put the powder (white) in a small
glass with warm water added. You stir it up with an old toothbrush and
them use the foam to rub on the stain. Best product I've used.

Hi Carpenter,

Thanks so much for your help. I will look for that pet stain remover.
It's definitely worth a try.

Hi Joey,
Thanks for your help. You're not referring to OxyBrite, are you? I
think I saw a big plastic container of that at Sam's Club.

No, I've never tried Sam's product. This is sold at flea markets, could
be the same but not sure. The plastic tub says SUPREME on the front and
contains Dupont teflon. Hope this helps.

sunshine246 had written this in response to

:

You don't need enzyme stain removers: Rinse stain well, even if it has
dried or is old, with cold water until it stops fading. Then rub in baking
soda really well and rinse with cold water until stain has turned a light
blue. Then boil water (you might need alot) and pour boiling water in a
stream from a couple feet above the fabric directly onto the stain so the
water passes through and off the fabric. Stain should disapear completely.
Works for me on whites and wont take set colours out of your clothes.
