Berry stains on your outdoor sofa can be a frustrating sight, but with the right approach, they can be effectively removed. Here’s a step-by-step guide to tackling those stubborn stains:

1. Act Quickly: The sooner you address the stain, the easier it will be to remove. Blot the stain with a clean cloth to absorb excess juice. Avoid rubbing, as this can spread the stain.

2. Prepare a Cleaning Solution: Mix 1 tablespoon of dish soap with 2 cups of warm water. For tougher stains, add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or baking soda to the mixture.

3. Test on a Hidden Area: Before applying the solution, test it on an inconspicuous spot to ensure it doesn’t damage the fabric.

4. Apply and Scrub Gently: Dip a soft brush or cloth into the solution and gently scrub the stain in circular motions. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes to break down the stain.

5. Rinse and Dry: Use a damp cloth to rinse the area, then blot with a dry towel. Allow the sofa to air dry completely.

For persistent stains, consider using a commercial fabric cleaner designed for outdoor furniture. Regular maintenance and prompt action will keep your sofa looking fresh and stain-free!
