  1. Blot excess fruit punch off your shirt with white paper towels. Constantly use clean towels to prevent spreading the punch further.

  2. Cover the entire punch stain with liquid heavy-duty laundry soap. Let soap dwell on the stain for 15 minutes.

  3. Wet a white cloth with cold water. Using the wet cloth, blot the fabric to rinse out the laundry soap.

  4. Remove the fruit punch stain completely by laundering the shirt with 1/4 cup of chlorine laundry bleach in a washing machine. Use the warmest water acceptable to the shirt's fabric type. Read the shirt's care label for specific laundering directions.

  5. Lay the freshly laundered shirt flat to air-dry.

Tips

Substitute a commercial prewash stain lifter for the liquid heavy-duty laundry soap.

Warnings

Natural detergents, bar soap and soap flakes make fruit punch stains more severe.
