Removing carrot stains: Step by step

To successfully remove carrot stains, you should act quickly and decisively. Here is a step-by-step guide:

  1. Act quickly: Remove carrot stains as quickly as possible to prevent the beta-carotene from penetrating the fabric.
  2. Apply Dr. Beckmann Stain Devil Fruit & Drinks: For smaller stains, apply a small amount of Dr. Beckmann Stain Devil to the affected area and leave it to work.
  3. Gently rub in: Use the gall soap stain brush to gently work in the stain remover and dissolve the beta-carotene.
  4. Soak with Oxi Power stain remover: For larger stains, you can soak the garment in a solution of water and Oxi Power stain remover. Leave the stain remover to work for at least 30 minutes.
  5. Wash: Wash the garment in the washing machine according to the care instructions. Select a program with the highest possible temperature that the fabric can tolerate.
  6. Dry in the shade: Allow the fabric to air dry and avoid direct sunlight to prevent the colors from fading.

Home remedies for removing carrot stains

In addition to special stain removers, there are also numerous home remedies that are often recommended for removing carrot stains. We have tested and evaluated the most common methods for you:

  1. Baby oil or vegetable oil: A commonly used home remedy is baby oil or vegetable oil, which can help with fresh carrot stains. However, this creates a new oil stain that also needs to be removed. This method is therefore less recommended as it often causes additional stains. 
     
  2. Mineral water: Mineral water is recommended as a universal stain remover, but has no additional effect on carrot stains. The carbon dioxide in mineral water simply makes the water fizzy, but has no real effect on stain removal.
     
  3. unlight: The sun's UV light can bleach carrot stains. However, there is a risk that the color of the fabric will also fade. It is best to let the garment dry in the shade in the fresh air to take advantage of the bleaching effect of UV light without fading the colors too much.
     
  4. all soap: Gall soap is a tried and tested home remedy and works particularly well on fresh carrot stains. With the Dr. Beckmann Gall Soap Stain Brush, the gall soap can be applied directly to the stain and rubbed in to dissolve the beta-carotene.
